Mauricio Pochettino is facing a dilemma over whether to make an emotional return to Tottenham.
Antonio Conte is set to leave when his contract expires this summer and Pochettino is the front runner to replace him as Spurs boss. Pochettino would be the fans’ choice as they were even singing his name during Tottenham’s Champions League exit to AC Milan on Wednesday night.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is having to draw up a succession plan to replace Conte as, even though the club have a 12 month option to extend his £15m-a-year contract, they will not exercise it unless he wants to stay. Spurs boss Conte now looks on his way out as the club’s last chance of silverware has gone and their remaining hope is to finish in the top four.
