Mauricio Pochettino continues to be linked with the Tottenham job even though he is currently in charge of the United States national team.
However, the Argentine’s deal there runs out after the FIFA World Cup, and he is not expected to stay on beyond the competition.
With Thomas Frank’s Tottenham future in jeopardy, there is clamour among the fanbase to bring Pochettino back to N17.
True or false: Tottenham re-appointing Mauricio Pochettino would be a bad idea…
Mauricio Pochettino continues to shower love for Tottenham
Pochettino met former Spurs player and manager Ossie Ardiles on Thursday and took to Instagram to share an image with him.
The duo not only share the Tottenham connection, but are also former Argentina players who met up in the United Kingdom at Parrilla Gaucha.
Pochettino captioned it with “COYS”, something that Spurs fans would undoubtedly have loved.
The Argentine, whenever asked about his former side, has nothing but complimentary things to say about them.

Thus far, Pochettino has managed three clubs in the Premier League, with Southampton and Chelsea being the other two clubs.
He also has a house in London and is constantly in the United Kingdom, as can be seen in the aforementioned image.
However, due to his work commitments, he does have to travel to the United States to take a look at some of his players in the MLS.
If you were in the Spurs board, how would you convince Pochettino to return? 👀
He will be available this summer…
The fact that he is in London so frequently suggests that he loves the city, and given his links to Tottenham, a reunion cannot be ruled out ahead of next season.
In an interview in December with the BBC, the Argentine revealed that he still watches the Premier League regularly and would love to take over the reins at a top-flight club again.
Apart from Spurs, he continues to be linked with the Manchester United job, and was even in the conversation for taking over at Aston Villa before Unai Emery agreed to take over.
Poch said: “Yeah, I watch a lot. The Premier League is the best in the world. Of course, I miss it. I am so happy in the USA, but I am always thinking about returning one day. It is the most competitive league, and of course, I would love to come back again.”
As things stand, the Argentine is preparing for a World Cup campaign while Frank continues to have the support of the board.
