Tottenham appear to have unlocked an unlikely advantage over Chelsea in the race to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as head coach. The 51-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to management in the Premier League following the recent sackings of Antonio Conte and Graham Potter.
In 2021, it was said that Spurs wanted to bring Pochettino back to north London after he was sacked by Daniel Levy just two years prior, but Paris Saint-Germain refused to let the Argentine go. Despite not publicly pushing for an exit, football.london understood that he was keen on the vacancy.
Fast forward a couple of years and Pochettino appears to be in contention to take the helm again at Hotspur Way, with one significant potential roadblock now out of the way – Fabio Paratici. The Italian has resigned as managing director of football with immediate effect to 'focus on his legal position in respect of the FIGC and FIFA rulings'.
