‘He’s in London a lot’: Manager who’d like the Tottenham job often talks to Daniel Levy – journalist

Mauricio Pochettino has been in the headlines in connection to Tottenham again this week.

Indeed, Pochettino publicly said he wants to come back to Tottenham one day, and there has been some excitement brewing about Pochettino getting the Spurs job.

Ange Postecoglou is under pressure at the moment, and the fires were further stoked by an image on social media that did the rounds of Daniel Levy and Pochettino together at a café.

It’s unclear whether that photo is new or if it’s an old image that has resurfaced.

However, according to Jack Pitt-Brooke, speaking on The View from The Lane, Pochettino does still spend a lot of time in London, while he’s also in contact with Daniel Levy on a semi-regular basis.

Mauricio Pochettino still speaks to Daniel Levy

Pitt-Brooke shared what he knows about Pochettino and his relationship with Daniel Levy as things stand.

Pochettino wanted the Tottenham job before Ange Postecoglou was appointed.

However, Levy never even called Pochettino at that time, hence why he went to Chelsea instead.

“Ok, clear up something else for me because of course the internet, which started out as a source of information, is now, you know, the thing that confuses us more than anything. This photograph of Pochettino and Daniel Levy outside, is it called Limes or Lines in Hadley Wood, a coffee bar in Hadley Wood in their puffer jackets?” The host asked..

“Everyone was going crazy about it on social media, saying here they are organizing this, organizing that. Am I gone mad, was that picture not around a year ago, or was that a different coffee shop and a different day?”

Jay Harris replied saying it was unclear whether the image was new, while Pitt-Brooke then shared some insight into Pochettino and how much time he spends is London as well as his relationship with Daniel Levy.

“But he’s in London a lot. He’s got a house in London. He kind of divides his time between London and Barcelona and Atlanta, where I think the US team are based.

“He’s going to come to games quite a lot in Europe. I know obviously some people see that and think, what is he negotiating to get the job? If he was actually in negotiations to get the Tottenham job.

“Do you think he’d be doing it in a cafe in North London?

“He wouldn’t be doing it over an oat milk latte in Hadley Wood. It just wouldn’t work that way. But also Pochettino has said that he talks to Daniel Levy.

“He’s still got a good relationship with Levy. So I know it’s obviously the photos have certainly got people talking and I get that. But I wouldn’t extrapolate too much from the existence of the photo.

“All the photo says to me is that they’re still talking.”

Ange Postecoglou compared to Mauricio Pochettino

Whether or not Pochettino is in line for a return to Tottenham is unclear, but, one thing is for sure, he did a better job first time around than Ange Postecoglou has been doing in recent times.

Indeed, Postecoglou has taken Tottenham to their lowest ebb in decades. Spurs sit 15^th in the Premier League at the moment, and they’re not going to win a domestic trophy this season either.

The stats show that Pochettino was a better manager for Spurs than Postecoglou currently is.

Of course, the old saying in football is ‘never go back’, but perhaps on this rare occasion, Spurs would be better off re-appointing their most successful manager of the 21^st century and bringing the Posteocglou chapter to a close.
