Mauricio Pochettino has fueled speculation of a post-2026 World Cup return to the Premier League, with struggling former club Tottenham Hotspur emerging as a potential destination.
Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure with the U.S. National Team appears increasingly likely to conclude after the 2026 World Cup.
With his contract set to expire, the 54-year-old has openly expressed a longing for the daily rigors of English club management.
Pochettino recently admitted to L’Equipe, “I miss the world of football in England. I love the country, its culture, the football culture.”
While a Tottenham reunion remains a romantic possibility, significant hurdles exist, including the club’s current fight against Premier League relegation.
Pochettino is expected to be a top target for giants like Manchester United or Real Madrid once the tournament ends.
He noted that for those with a competitive spirit, England is the “ideal place” where “you have to constantly give your best.”
