In a stunning revelation that's set to send shockwaves through English football, Mauricio Pochettino has strongly hinted at a dramatic Premier League return just weeks after his Chelsea departure. The Argentine manager, who remains a cult hero at Tottenham, suggested he's far from finished with England's top flight.

Speaking with palpable emotion about his time in the capital, Pochettino revealed: "We are living in London, and for now I think we are going to be here." This statement carries enormous significance for fans hoping to see the popular manager back in the Premier League dugout.
London isn't just a temporary base for the Pochettino family - it's become their home. The manager emphasised this deep connection, stating they're actively "looking forward to moving on" and continuing their English football journey.
Tottenham Return: The Dream Scenario for Spurs Fans
The timing of Pochettino's comments couldn't be more intriguing. With current Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou facing mounting pressure after a challenging season, the door could potentially open for a sensational return to North London.
Pochettino's legacy at Tottenham remains untarnished despite his departure in 2019. Under his guidance, Spurs consistently punched above their weight, regularly securing Champions League football and reaching the unforgettable 2019 Champions League final.
