Football fans are paying keen attention to Tottenham Hotspur's chairman Daniel Levy (63) after it was revealed that he met with former coach Mauricio Pochettino (53).
"Kurt Offside" said on the 20th (Korea time), "Chairman Daniel Levy was seen with Mauricio Pochettino at a cafe in London," and analyzed that the meeting between the two was more significant in line with Tottenham's recent slump.
Although Pochettino is currently leading the U.S. national soccer team, he has continuously expressed his affection for Tottenham. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Pochettino said, "When I leave Tottenham, I want to come back someday. I still feel the same way," hinting at his desire to return to the team indirectly. However, given that he is an incumbent coach, Pochettino has avoided making additional comments.
After taking the helm of Tottenham in 2014, Pochettino led the team until 2019, creating his best days. He is a person who shared the most brilliant moment in Tottenham's history, including runner-up in the Premier League (2016-2017 season) and advancing to the Champions League final (2018-2019 season). In particular, he showed excellent leadership in fostering young players by helping Harry Kane, Dele Alli, and Son Heung-min grow.
In the 2019-2020 season, Tottenham ended up in a slump. In the end, Pochettino was dismissed due to the combination of sub-expected player reinforcement, injuries to key players, and poor performance in the early stages of the league.
Since then, several leaders have been in charge of the team, including Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and current manager Enzi Postecoglou, but Tottenham are still far from winning the league.
After leaving Tottenham, Pochettino played for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Chelsea. He won the Ligue 1 title at PSG, but failed to achieve satisfactory results in the Champions League, and was sacked after a season at Chelsea F.C. Currently, he is playing for the U.S. national team and preparing for the 2026 World Cup.
It has been confirmed through several interviews that he strongly wants to return to Tottenham. "His relationship with Tottenham is special. I want to complete the goals we haven't achieved," he said, still raising the expectations of many fans.
However, Tottenham is currently in a very different situation from the past. Key players such as Kane, Eriksen, Lloris, and Vertonghen, who were with Pochettino, have all left the team, and the challenge of adapting to the new system remains.
As Tottenham's current situation continues to be sluggish under Postecoglou, there are growing calls for a change. As a result, there is a possibility that Pochettino will take over the team again. However, it is unclear whether Levy will choose him again. It is still unclear whether the reunion with Pochettino will revive the glory of the past or lead to another challenge. 메이저놀이터
