# Tottenham: Mauricio Pochettino considers Spurs return

**[According to The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15057745/mauricio-pochettino-tottenham-return-kane/), Mauricio Pochettino wants a return to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Pochettino struggles in France**

Pochettino left Tottenham towards the end of 2019 to be replaced by Jose Mourinho. He eventually took the Paris Saint-Germain job a year later, taking over from Thomas Tuchel.

However, he has not had the best of times in the French capital – his PSG side were beaten to the Ligue 1 title by Lille even though Pochettino has averaged 2.21 points per game since moving to the Parc des Princes ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauricio-pochettino/profil/trainer/9044)).

### **The Latest: Poch wants Spurs return**

Now, it is being reported Pochettino could return to north London and wants a second crack with Tottenham.

The report also adds the Argentinian could be Spurs’ best chance of keeping Harry Kane at the club.

### **The Verdict: Dilemma**

Pochettino did a fantastic job at Tottenham – [Dele Alli once admitted he is an ‘amazing’ tactician](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham/tottenham-news-dele-alli-hails-mauricio-pochettino-as-a-tactical-genius-after-spurs-snuff-out-jorginho-a3999836.html). Many will point out he failed to win a trophy during his time there, but he turned the Lilywhites into a regular Champions League outfit, while they even reached the final of that competition in 2019, losing 2-0 to Liverpool in Madrid.

He also seemingly had a great relationship with Harry Kane, who recently revealed his desire to leave Tottenham ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12309404/harry-kane-again-tells-tottenham-he-wants-to-leave-as-manchester-city-manchester-united-chelsea-lie-in-wait)). Therefore, there are plenty of reasons as to why a return to Spurs could work out. On the other hand, though, it would feel like a step backwards – both parties have moved on since their previous partnership.
