Mauricio Pochettino’s stance on making an immediate return to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur has been revealed.
Recently, Pochettino spoke about his desire to return to Tottenham which led to fans getting excited about the possibility of him coming back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Argentine spent six successful years in North London and became a hero at Spurs, despite not winning a major trophy.
The 53-year-old is being linked with the Spurs job with Postecoglou under pressure and his thoughts on leaving the USA job immediately has been revealed.
Mauricio Pochettino committed to USA job amid Tottenham links
Mauricio Pochettino has no immediate plans to return to Tottenham Hotspur and remains fully committed to the USA job, according to BBC Sport.
The former Spurs manager is set to lead the United States to the World Cup in around 15 months as the host nation alongside Canada and Mexico.
But currently, the Argentinian manager is under a bit of pressure given the United States’ recent poor run of form.
His team have just lost to Canada and Panama this international break which means they have now suffered three defeats in their eight matches under him.
Pochettino remains in contact with Daniel Levy, however, the return of their former boss appears very unlikely at this stage as he remains fully committed to US Soccer.
How much is Mauricio Pochettino’s release clause with US Soccer?
ESPN journalist Jeff Carlisle revealed back in September 2024 that Pochettino has a release clause which could worth at least £15m.
TBR Football understands that Tottenham are reluctant to pay £8m for Marco Silva, so having to pay potentially double that for Pochettino makes a deal feel even more unlikely.
Pochettino feels well placed to take on this young Tottenham squad, but given his commitment to coaching the United States at their home World Cup and his hefty release clause, a move seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.
