Could Tottenham hijack Chelsea move for Mauricio Pochettino after Arne Slot decision?

The search for a new manager at Tottenham Hotspur goes on. Following Antonio Conte's departure from the hotseat, suppoerters were drawn to two names in particular - a return for Mauricio Pochettino and then, when he was sacked by Bayern Munich, Julian Nagelsmann.

However, Spurs fans have had to come to terms with the fact that Pochettino will be back in the Premier League, but not at their club. The Argentinian looks set to put pen to paper on a deal to become the new head coach at Chelsea. After weeks of speculation, the Blues have agreed a deal with the former Spurs boss that will see him take over permanently from the sacked Graham Potter, with interim boss Frank Lampard to step down at the end of the season.

Nagelsmann also went out of the running to join Spurs, with no contact made over a deal and that left suppoerters wondering who it could be instead.
