Mauricio Pochettino: ‘Trump asked if US can win the World Cup’
The United States head coach tells Miguel Delaney why the country could be about to ‘dominate’ football ahead of co-hosting the 2026 tournamentwww.independent.co.uk
I actually posted this because it's a reasonable read, not just because of the Trump thing.
He admits what went wrong at Spurs was all his fault.

Assessing the chances of Mauricio Pochettino returning to manage Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the 2024-2025 season involves considering several factors: his current role, Tottenham's managerial situation, his past relationship with the club, and the sentiments of key stakeholders like chairman Daniel Levy and the fanbase. As of March 20, 2025, here’s a breakdown based on available information and reasonable speculation.
Pochettino is currently the head coach of the United States men’s national team, a position he took in September 2024. His commitment there is focused on leading the team into the 2026 World Cup, which the U.S. will co-host. This timeline suggests he’s locked in through at least mid-2026, making an exit at the end of the 2024-2025 season (around May 2025) unlikely unless something drastic changes—say, a mutual parting or an irresistible pull from Tottenham. He’s expressed enthusiasm for the U.S. job, but he’s also repeatedly voiced a deep emotional connection to Spurs, saying as recently as March 2025 that he’d “love one day to come back to Tottenham” because it feels like “unfinished business” (The Athletic, ESPN). This keeps the door ajar, though timing is a hurdle.
At Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou is under pressure. As of mid-March 2025, Spurs sit 14th in the Premier League after a string of poor results, including six losses in seven games (Mirror Online, football.london). Fan frustration is high, and while chairman Daniel Levy has historically been patient—sticking with Postecoglou despite the slump—continued failure could force a change by season’s end. The Europa League offers Postecoglou a lifeline; if he wins it, he might stay. But if Spurs crash out (they’re trailing AZ Alkmaar 1-0 after the first leg) and miss European qualification, the sack becomes more plausible. Reports suggest Levy has a shortlist of replacements, with names like Edin Terzic and Thomas Frank mentioned, but Pochettino’s name keeps surfacing due to his history (Spurs Web, football.london).
Pochettino’s tenure at Spurs (2014-2019) was transformative—second in the Premier League in 2016-17, a Champions League final in 2019—and he’s still adored by many fans. His ability to develop young talent and unite a squad aligns with Tottenham’s current needs, especially given their injury-ravaged, youthful roster. However, Levy sacked him in 2019 after a poor run, and their personal rapport (still “very good,” per Pochettino to Sky Sports) doesn’t guarantee a professional reunion. Levy’s decision to pick Postecoglou over Pochettino in 2023, when the latter was available post-Chelsea, hints at reluctance to revisit the past (Spurs Web). Plus, Pochettino’s stint at rivals Chelsea in 2023-24 might irk some fans, though his Spurs legacy likely overshadows that.
The practical odds? Slim in the immediate term. Journalist Dean Jones told GiveMeSport in January 2025 that a Pochettino return is “very unlikely” due to his U.S. commitments, a view echoed across sources (OneFootball, football.london). Even if Postecoglou is sacked, Tottenham would likely opt for an available manager rather than wait for Pochettino to negotiate an early exit from the USMNT, which could be messy and costly. Sentiment on X reflects this split: some fans dream of his return, others see it as nostalgic fantasy unlikely before 2026.
So, at the end of the 2024-2025 season, I’d peg the chances at around 10-15%. It hinges on Postecoglou failing spectacularly, Levy reversing his apparent stance, and Pochettino being willing—and able—to abandon the U.S. project prematurely. More likely, any return would come post-2026, if at all. For now, it’s a tantalizing “what if” rather than a probable outcome.
Well written.

We're realizing we never had it so good...and he's realizing he never had it so good...I realized it back in 2019, knew Levy would never bankroll what was necessary to do it they other way and he was best placed for a new young blood rebuild with the culture he built intact.I actually posted this because it's a reasonable read, not just because of the Trump thing.

I’ll take that as a yes
He’s Spurs through and through with the 94th minute injury time loss to Panama!
The Spurs blood is coursing in him strong now. He's meant to come back.
Or maybe Levy's spursiness magic dust is spreading to him after the coffee.
If the USA gig ends up a disaster for Poch does that change anything for anyone?
I was thinking the same. Poch could be sounding whiny now after the loss so he may get his move back to us early. I really wouldn't surprise. To me he tends to act like a bitch when his heart no longer set on the job.
That one was for the canal.
Pretty sure that's actually Jonah.
Cracks are starting to appear
Good stuff. Operation bring Poch home is underway

I love Poch and I want him back at Spurs, but I’m also thrilled that we got the bronze! Jonathan David scored the winner, and I’d love to see him here as well.
