Tottenham already know Mauricio Pochettino’s answer if Thomas Frank is sacked
Tottenham Hotspur are now weighing a move for Mauricio Pochettino as pressure on Thomas Frank intensifies.
Thomas Frank’s time at Tottenham Hotspur has had its ups and downs since his appointment back in the summer.
The Dane’s Premier League record has been appalling to say the least, as Spurs have managed just 29 points after 25 games and find themselves 14th in the Premier League table.
A full relegation scrap remains in the picture for Spurs, who are just six points above 18th place following West Ham United’s win over Burnley and Tottenham’s defeat to Manchester United.
Tottenham eye Mauricio Pochettino return as pressure grows on Thomas Frank
Frank has been under fire in recent weeks, but a bit of the pressure was eased following the Dane’s successful Champions League run.
However, with Tottenham’s domestic form only getting worse under the former Brentford manager, there is a growing feeling that his place in the Spurs dugout is far from secure.
TeamTalk are now reporting that Pochettino will unequivocally accept a return to Tottenham if offered the role following the World Cup.
Pochettino is one name that has always been in the mix for Spurs, with the Argentine himself openly stating that he will welcome another run in the Tottenham dugout.
The Argentine is currently managing the USMNT and is preparing for the 2026 World Cup, but there is a feeling he would be open to take on a new challenge once the tournament ends in the summer.
Johnny Heitinga tipped as interim option if Spurs sack Frank
But before a summer move is made for Pochettino, it is claimed that the Spurs hierarchy is lining up an interim appointment should results under Frank fail to improve.
New assistant manager signing Johnny Heitinga, already embedded in the coaching staff, has now emerged as the frontrunner to steady the ship until summer.
Spurs, however, will not have a free run for the Argentine, with Manchester United also considering making a move for Pochettino.
There are claims that Tottenham are gearing up for a transformative summer transfer window, with substantial investment planned to rebuild the squad.
Of course, attracting top talent hinges on the man in the dugout, and given Pochettino’s proven track record in nurturing stars like Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, he is viewed as a far stronger pull for elite players than Frank in the eyes of the board.
