Levy wasted £104m on Pochettino’s worst-ever signing at Spurs

The last six years have been nothing short of a whirlwind for Tottenham Hotspur.

The fans have seen their club go from a Champions League final to the bottom half of the Premier League and their all-time top goalscorer sold to Bayern Munich.

On top of that, Daniel Levy has been through a plethora of managers, with José Mourinho, Nuno Espírito Santo, and Antonio Conte all failing to live up to expectations.

To his credit, Ange Postecoglou was at least able to bring the entertainment factor back for a while, but it’s now starting to feel like time is running out for him as well.

In fact, if recent murmurings are to be believed, there is a slim chance that the Australian might be replaced by the last manager who was able to steer the club in the right direction for a sustained period: Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino’s potential return

On November 19th, 2019, just five months after he led the club to their first Champions League final, it was announced that Pochettino had been sacked by Spurs, who were 14th in the Premier League at the time – sound familiar?

While the North Londoners made their way through the aforementioned list of managers in the following years, the Argentine took some time out before taking a job with Paris Saint-Germain in January 2021, where he won the League, French Cup and French Super Cup, but was sacked in the summer of 2022.

Out of work once again, the former Lilywhites boss took another year out of the spotlight before making the shock decision to manage Chelsea heading into last season, where, unfortunately, things did not work out, as after finishing in sixth place, he left by ‘mutual consent.’

It was a much quicker turnaround in terms of finding a new job this time, though, as in September.
