# Tottenham Hotspur: Paris-Saint Germain journalist drops Mauricio Pochettino update

**Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/bruno_salomon/status/1397815557710397460), journalist Bruno Salomon, Paris-Saint Germain correspondent for Radio France, has shared what he has been told ‘internally’ regarding the rumours of Tottenham Hotspur talks for Mauricio Pochettino.**

### The Lowdown: Tottenham in talks for Pochettino…?

This morning, huge news emerged regarding the future of Pochettino and Tottenham’s hunt for a new manager.

Indeed, [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/mauricio-pochettino-tottenham-psg/R7RoUtFPvG9L) first reported that Spurs and their former favourite are locked in talks over a sensational return to the club and Pochettino is attracted by the idea of a return to north London.

However, it will be very difficult to pull off given the 49-year-old still has one year left on his PSG deal and the Ligue 1 giants do not want the upheaval of another manager change.

### The Latest: PSG journalist drops behind-scenes update

Writing on Twitter, Salomon, PSG correspondent for Radio France, has claimed he has been told ‘internally’ that the Pochettino to Spurs rumours are in fact ‘false’.

“On this rumour of Pochettino who could not stay at PSG (because of the desire for a return to Tottenham or the freshness of relations with Leonardo or even departure at the request of Doha), I am clearly told internally that it is false,” he [explained (translated via Twitter).](https://twitter.com/bruno_salomon/status/1397815557710397460)

### The Verdict: Blow for Tottenham…?

Given the noise surrounding Pochettino’s possible return to Spurs, information from this reporter could be a slight dampener on the mood in north London.

However, he is just one source and the managerial landscape can change very quickly – with Lilywhites supporters possibly hoping that the Argentine’s return to north London is indeed on the cards.

It has been said that Spurs want a manager in the[image of Pochettino](https://theathletic.com/2562549/2021/05/06/tottenham-want-a-coach-who-will-demonstrate-a-commitment-to-improving-young-players-like-pochettino/), so who better than the man himself?

If he can secure a sensational reunion with the Lilywhites, it’s safe to say the appointment would be big, but don’t get your hopes up just yet Tottenham fans.
