Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to Mauricio Pochettino’s latest comments on his desire to return to Spurs, with opinions sharply divided. Some long for his return, while others believe his time has passed.
It has been six years since Mauricio Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur. Since his departure, Spurs have experimented with different managerial approaches in an attempt to achieve success.
Serial winners Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho have come and gone, but neither could deliver silverware.
Current boss Ange Postecoglou is feeling the heat as his second season has unravelled, leaving Spurs languishing in 14th place with their hopes now pinned on the Europa League.
Tottenham fans react as Mauricio Pochettino makes his intentions clear
While the Australian continues to come under pressure, ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been laying the groundwork for a Spurs return, insisting he has unfinished business at Hotspur Way.
After Mauricio Pochettino admitted that his return to Tottenham is only a matter of time, we took to social media to gauge the opinions of Spurs fans, and the response was split. Many are eager to welcome him back, while others remain unconvinced.
One fan shared: “I remember I had tears in my eyes the day he left. I’d love for him to come back.” Another simply pleaded: “Bring him home.”
MORE SPURS STORIES
Others were not so enthusiastic: “Shouldn’t have gone Chels then, mate.” Another, also on the Chelsea theme, dismissed him as a “Chelsea reject.”
One particularly blunt opinion read: “I’m not a hater, but he still couldn’t win anything with a prime squad—Dembele, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Kane, Son, Dele Alli, Eriksen, Danny Rose. Got a lifeline against Ajax, at least he made us relevant. I’m sure he’d be outside the top six with this squad.”
Another fan took a more measured approach: “He would cook with this squad and hopefully wouldn’t have to deal with three windows of no signings, two stadium transitions, and just 11 first-team contenders. Could not care less that he went to Chelsea for an off-season. Best manager I’ve seen at the club and he had the most limited tools.”
A divided Spurs fanbase but a clear reality
Spurs fans are undoubtedly split on Pochettino. But one thing is certain—during his tenure, the club was competing at the highest level.
While silverware eluded him, Tottenham were far from the mediocrity they find themselves in now, stuck in the bottom half of the table.
Whether his return would spark a revival or prove to be a step backwards is a debate that will continue, but there’s no denying the impact he had on the club.
