Tottenham may or may not be without a manager again, with unconfirmed and spurious reports suggesting Igor Tudor might depart the club by mutual consent, and the long-term new manager to replace Thomas Frank is likely not going to be known until Spurs know their Premier League fate at bare minimum. But here’s Mauricio Pochettino, giving us all the feels. In an interview with French language newspaper L’Equipe ( as reported by SportWitness ), USA national team manager Pochettino said that he “misses” football in England and the Premier League, and once again tossing fuel on the fire that he could be the one who eventually takes charge.
“ I miss the world of football in England. I love the country, its culture, the football culture. For anyone with a competitive spirit who wants to measure themselves against others and test their limits, it’s the ideal place.
Here, you have to give your best constantly. ” Poch! MAURICIOOOOOOO!
