Mauricio Pochettino ‘so disappointed’ Tottenham didn’t contact him over potential return as Argentine closes in on Chelsea appointment
Posted Saturday, April 29, 2023 by Goal.com
Mauricio Pochettino was reportedly "disappointed" that Tottenham did not make contact with him about a possible return after Antonio Conte was sacked.
- Pochettino expected call from Spurs
- London side did not contact him about job
- Argentine looks set to join Chelsea instead
WHAT HAPPENED? Pochettino has been linked with a return to Tottenham several times since his departure in 2019. He was touted as a candidate to take over when Antonio Conte departed at the end of March, but Cristian Stellini was appointed interim boss instead. Stellini was then sacked after they lost 6-1 to Newcastle and the job was given to Ryan Mason instead.
WHAT THEY SAID: Spurs' decision not to reach out to Pochettino upset the Argentine, according to Alan Brazil, who said on TalkSport: “I really like the guy. I think he’s a top top bloke. But one thing I do know is that he was so disappointed that Spurs didn’t even contact him."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Spurs could come to regret overlooking Pochettino as the ex-Paris Saint-Germain coach looks set to take over at Chelsea, after they sacked Graham Potter.
WHAT NEXT? Tottenham are looking to end their three-game winless run in the Premier League when they visit Liverpool on Sunday.
