    Tottenham players beg Pochettino to make a return to the club

    Many Tottenham players have pleaded with former boss, Mauricio Pochettino to return to the club after being sacked few years ago.

    The players are said to have been in contact with the Argentine over a possible return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

    Present coach Antonio Conte will be sacked anytime from now after his outburst where he knocked the club chiefs and his players following their 3-3 draw with Southampton in a Premier League on Saturday.

    Pochettino has been strongly linked to replace the former Italy national team boss and Sky Sports claims that Tottenham top stars have already asked the Argentine to return and that the coach is keen.

    It is suggested Pochettino will wait to assess all his options in the summer.

    The 51-year-old Pochettino departed from Paris Saint-Germain eight months ago but has not found a suitable job.

    Spurs also contacted him to return to the club during his PSG spell, but his contract with the French giants meant that he could not discuss it.

    However, it now appears his long-awaited return to Tottenham could be finally on the cards.
