The head coach of the United States Mauricio Pocttino rejected speculation that linked him to return to Tottenham Hotspur, and called the idea of ”not realistic” because the Premier League Club is starting to look for a new manager.
Spurs broke up with ange postcogla On Friday, just over two weeks after leading them to their first main trophy with a victory of 1-0 over Manchester United in the European League final. Despite this success, the club tolerated a daunting home campaign and ended just above the Premier League descent zone after 22 defeats when he identified his worst season in almost 50 years.
Prattino, who previously managed Tottenham from 2014 to 2019 and led them to the final of the Champions League in 2019, has long been associated with a potential return whenever the manager is unoccupied. But after the defeat of the 2-1 American national team to Turkey on Saturday on Saturday, Argentine managed to tell.
“After I left in 2019, every time I was free and the position of the manager in Tottenham was open, my name appeared,” said Prattino. “If you have seen rumors, I think there are 100 coaches on the list. Don’t worry.”
The 53-year-old man, who previously managed Espanyol, Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain, signed a two-year agreement on the leadership of the American national team in September. Its current focus is the preparation of the team for the World Championship in 2026, which will host the United States, Canada and Mexico.
“If something happens, you would certainly see, but we can’t talk about such things because it’s not real today. It’s not realistic,” he added. “And look at where I am, where we are. The answer is so clear, right? But we are talking about it because it’s my club Newell or Espanyol.”
Spurs were associated with several potential candidates to replace postcogla, including Brentford’s Thomas Frank, manager Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner and Fulham’s Marco Silva. Anyone who takes the reins will become the fifth permanent manager of the club in just six years.
The US will focus on discouraging when Switzerland hosts Nashville on Tuesday and hopes that Pocttino leads to the fourth direct defeat.
