'Sungmin, wait. I'll go again
When it's time to forget, it comes back to the surface, and there's another news that excites Tottenham fans. The story is that former coach Mauricio Pochettino, who led Tottenham's heyday in the mid-to-late 2010s, will return to Tottenham again. It is great news for Son Heung-min (33), who has grown into a star player of the team under Pochettino.
However, it has not been confirmed whether Pochettino can actually return to Tottenham. It could also be a report by local media in the UK to boost the atmosphere.

BR Football, a British soccer media outlet, exclusively reported on the 23rd (Korean time) on the possibility of Pochettino's return to Tottenham. The media exclusively reported that former Tottenham manager Pochettino is likely to return to replace coach Enze Postecoglou.
Tottenham's leadership recently reportedly decided to replace current coach Postecoglou after the end of the season after a long hesitation. Most local media in the UK reported this. Originally, Tottenham leaders, including chairman Daniel Levy, continued to trust Postecoglou.
In addition, there were quite a few predictions that if Tottenham wins the UEFA Europa League, which is in the semifinals, Postecoglou will be able to lead Tottenham next season.
But the whole situation changed in just a few days.
The decisive moment was the match against Nottingham Forest in the 33rd round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 22nd. Here, Tottenham lost 1-2 and lost for the 18th time (11 wins and 4 draws) of the season. 16th in the league. It was outrebounded by Wolverhampton, who once suffered a 'escent crisis'. If Tottenham loses one more, it will tie the club's record of most losses (19 losses) in a single season recorded in the 2003-2004 season.

The defeat completely changed the position of Tottenham's leadership. The position has been settled toward definitely replacing Postecoglou. The British Telegraph has exclusively reported on the Tottenham leadership's decision. It doesn't matter if you win the Europa League. In the end, Postecoglou was able to unload his luggage two seasons after Tottenham's appointment.
Now the interest is who will be the new Tottenham head coach. TBR Football expects Postecoglou to not lead Tottenham next season. Tottenham is looking for a candidate to take the position, TBR Senior Reporter Graham Bailey heard from an authoritative source that Levy had yet to notify Postecoglou of his dismissal. Levi is exploring other options. Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva are being recruited. Both managers are delaying re-signing with their current clubs, Bournemouth and Fulham, the reports said.
The names of Thomas Frank (Brentford), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Scott Parker (Burnley) and former Brighton coach Roberto de Gerby (Strasbourg) also appeared. They are all candidates for the next Tottenham manager with strengths.

But all of these names were just decorations to highlight the rumors of Pochettino's comeback. TBR Football might be the perfect choice for Tottenham's young squad, though, more than anyone else, Pochettino. Pochettino was replaced in 2019, but he still has a good relationship with Levy and wants to return to Tottenham. Levy is also aware of this'Pochettino, who took charge of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Chelsea after Tottenham, played for the U.S. national team at the end of last year, but has not maintained a good relationship with the national team.
In the context, Pochettino's return to Tottenham is quite probable. Above all, it is more likely that Pochettino will throw out the U.S. national team coach position in just over six months. He is at odds with the national team's players and staff, and the local media is not favorable. It's because my grades aren't coming out very well.
To make matters worse, former U.S. national team coach Bruce Youngera has publicly raised doubts about Pochettino's capabilities. Pochettino's position is gradually decreasing. At this rate, the possibility of Pochettino being replaced before he announced his intention to resign cannot be ruled out. In the end, Pochettino's return to Tottenham is likely to be achieved with a fairly high probability.
Chairman Levy is also under great pressure to select a 'unverified' character through Postecoglou's failure. Attention is focusing on whether Pochettino will take the helm of Tottenham again.
