Mauricio Pochettino could be set for a sensational return to North London, although there are likely to be many twists and turns in this summer’s managerial merry-go-round.
Pochettino the favourite to manage Tottenham once again
As of Tuesday afternoon, Mauricio Pochettino is the huge favourite to return to North London. After just a few months in Paris, it appears Pochettino could grace the Premier League once again, and the bookies have him as clear favourite to be the new Spurs boss at 4/9 but can be found as long as 5/4 elsewhere.
Aside from Pochettino being the obvious choice, there are still other candidates in the running should he decide to stay at PSG; this year’s Serie A title winner Antonio Conte is currently second favourite at 5/1. This perhaps seems a more likely prospect now that Carlo Ancelotti has been touted to take the Real Madrid hotseat.

Who are the outsiders?
Further out in the market we have Erik ten Hag at 6/1 or ex-Everton and current Belgium manager Roberto Martinez at 12/1. Ten Hag certainly would be an excellent fit, as he is tried and tested at the highest level.
Graham Potter is next at 16/1 and current Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is at 22/1. Given The Foxes’ successful season it seems it would take something special to see Rodgers make the trip to North London.
Others in contention are Eddie Howe at 22/1 and Julen Lopetegui at 25/1. Pochettino’s return would be a shock to many but it will also likely have a major effect on the future of Harry Kane.
Expect to see movement in that market if news breaks of Pochettino’s return.
Next Spurs manager odds:
- Mauricio Pochettino – 4/9
- Antonio Conte – 5/1
- Erik Ten Hag – 6/1
- Roberto Martinez – 12/1
- Graham Potter – 16/1
- Brendan Rodgers – 22/1
- Eddie Howe – 22/1
