Clinton Morrison has suggested that Tottenham could look to bring Mauricio Pochettino back to the club in the future.
Pochettino took Tottenham to new heights in his five and a half years in charge of the club, leading them close to winning the Premier League title as well as the Champions League.
The North Londoners have never quite managed to recover since his sacking back in 2019, with the Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo experiments failing.
Before confirming Nuno as Mourinho’s successor over the summer, the Lilywhites reportedly tried to bring Pochettino back to N17.
It was even claimed at the time that the Argentine was keen on a return to his former stomping ground as he was alleged to be unhappy at PSG.
However, the 49-year-old ended up staying in Paris and has since put pen to paper on a contract extension with the Ligue 1 giants.
There is now renewed optimism at Tottenham following the appointment of Antonio Conte last week, with some Spurs fans hoping that the Italian will be the main to break the club’s recent trophy drought.

However, Morrison believes the Lilywhites might try again for Pochettino in the future.
The former Crystal Palace striker told Sky Sports News – 12:49 pm, November 6: “I also think there could be a chance that we might one day see Pochettino go back to Tottenham.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Conte has shown over the course of his career that he does not stay for long-term projects. Given the Italian’s intensity, players also get tired of him fairly quickly.
So, I would not be surprised if Conte left the club at the end of his contract in 2023 and if Spurs approached Pochettino about a potential return to the club.
