Mauricio Pochettino drops huge Tottenham hint as ex-boss speaks out on job links

Tottenham Hotspur are always linked with Mauricio Pochettino whenever the need a new head coach, and the man himself has now acknowledged that is the case again

Mauricio Pochettino is open to a Tottenham Hotspur return after the World Cup - but insists his focus is on coaching the United States.

Pochettino addressed the links during an interview on Spain's longest-running sports radio program, Radiogaceta de los Deportes. He said: "I'm always linked (to clubs), to Tottenham, just like at one time I was linked to Espanyol, or to other clubs.

"In the end, especially because of my past at those clubs, when things aren't going well, people tend to fall back on emotions and say, 'Well, with Mauricio we played good football,' or whatever it may be.

"But no, we're focused on the World Cup, on the United States. My contract runs until after the World Cup, so after that we'll see what might happen. Open to everything, right?"
