Son Heung-min + Pochettino reunion?"Returning to Tottenham is my dream." Say your intention

Mar 15, 2025

Mauricio Pochettino said he wanted to return to Tottenham.

Coach Pochettino confessed his honest feelings about returning to Tottenham in an interview with British talk sports on the 14th (Korea time). Pochettino has been thinking of returning to Tottenham since the day he was notified of his dismissal.

He said "To be honest, the day I left the club, I always thought I'd come back one day. I didn't think about it before I got an offer from the U.S. national team. I was really thinking about coming back (Tottenham)."

It is no exaggeration to say that Pochettino is the creator of Tottenham today. Since 2009, he has led RCD Espanyol, where he has distinguished himself as a leader. He was called by Tottenham in 2014 after being appointed to Southampton and proving his full potential in the English Premier League (EPL).

Coach Pochettino even recruited Son Heung-min in 2015 to create an era of success together. Without Pochettino, Son Heung-min might not have been present. Son Heung-min had a hard time adjusting to the EPL stage in his first season. He thought about returning to Germany after the first season, when Pochettino persuaded Son Heung-min to stay.

Son Heung-min began to play hard in the second season and will grow into a league-leading winger under Pochettino. Although the two did not win the trophy in the end, they brought many achievements, including Tottenham's first EPL second place in the club's history and the club's first European Champions League final. In addition, under Pochettino, numerous prospects, including Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Kyle Walker, blossomed properly.

Pochettino, who opened Tottenham's heyday, was replaced by Tottenham in 2019 due to poor performance. Since then, Pochettino has taken the helm of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) but has been connected to Tottenham several times. It's also what Pochettino wanted.

In 2021, when he was at the helm of PSG, England 'Sky Sports' reported on the 29th that `Pochettino is negotiating a return to Tottenham, although it has been less than six months since he took the helm of PSG.' Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy also fiddled with Pochettino's return card, but ultimately appointed Nunu Espiritu Santo.

Two years ago, rumors of Pochettino's return were also on fire. 2023 England 'Evening Standard' Pochettino could return to Tottenham if Antonio Conte leaves. Pochettino said he had a successful time at Tottenham from 2014 until he was replaced in November 2019 and would like to return at some point.

However, this time again, Tottenham chose Enze Postecoglou rather than Pochettino. Pochettino, who couldn't wait for Totner, accepted a surprise offer to go to the U.S. Pochettino will be with the U.S. until the 2026 World Cup in North Korea, China and the U.S.

After that, he wanted to return to Tottenham again. He "The day I left, I thought I'd like to come back to Tottenham one day. As I said in the past, I felt empty the moment I left. It's because it felt like the work wasn't done. That's how I feel, and it's my dream. I'm sure this club will always be special to me"He talked about his affection for Tottenham.

Finally, Pochettino said, `I want to have the possibility that one day we can get back to a situation where we can finish in a different way." First of all, it is practically difficult to return to Tottenham now because Pochettino is in charge of the U.S. national team.

Son Heung-min is signed by Tottenham from 2025 to 2026 season, and Pochettino's future is expected to be determined only after the summer of 2026. Can we see Son Heung-min's additional renewal and Pochettino's return to Tottenham at the same time. There is nothing impossible about soccer.
