# Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham latest updates

**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) supporters have been handed an update on their managerial situation involving the out-of-work Mauricio Pochettino.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs linked with new manager…

Spurs have been linked with a new manager at the end of this [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season, coming as [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/)‘s deal looks set to expire this year.

While Tottenham have the option to extend his deal by an extra 12 months, there have been[suggestions](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-eyeing-roberto-de-zerbi/) that the Italian’s exit is far more likely than not.

The Lilywhites are [monitoring](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-eyeing-roberto-de-zerbi/) Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi’s situation among others with an update now sharing the latest on their links to Pochettino.

### The Latest: Pochettino a Spurs ‘contender’…

According to [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11822871/Antonio-Conte-returns-London-today-amid-uncertainty-Tottenham-future.html), Spurs’ former manager is a ‘contender’ to replace Conte if he does leave north London.

Indeed, chairman Daniel Levy still holds a ‘close relationship’ with Pochettino, but it is believed that others senior figures within Spurs will need convincing over the Argentine’s potential return.

### The Verdict: Perfect candidate…

The 51-year-old would be a perfect candidate for Tottenham if Conte does quit the club, especially considering he is already more-than familiar with the club and players.

Having [won a league title](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/psg-ligue-1-title-pochettino-26782812) with Paris-Saint Germain, Pochettino would return to Spurs with more experience and silverware under his belt.
