Mauricio Pochettino has told Tottenham fans he intends to return to the club in the future.
The Argentinean was sacked in November, just five months after he managed the north London club’s first Champions League final appearance.
The 48-year-old was eventually replaced by Jose Mourinho following a 1-1 draw at home against Sheffield United.
During an emotional interview with BT Sport, he reiterated his undying affection for Spurs and teased a potential return.
"From the day that I left the club, my dream is to one day be back and finish the work we didn't finish..."
"Deep inside I would like one day to be back, this club is special."
Spurs fans, stay calm.
Mauricio Pochettino wants to return in the future#UCLThrowback
He said: ‘It was an amazing journey that finished in the way that, of course, no one wants. But deeper in my chest, my soul, my heart – I am sure that we will cross [paths] again.
‘From the day that I left the club, my dream is to be back and to try to finish the work that we didn’t finish.
‘We were so close to winning the right trophies. The Premier League and the Champions League.
‘But we stopped and, of course, I am looking forward to move on and I am so motivated for the next project.
‘But deep inside I would like to be back one day because the club is special. The fans are so special.’
Pochettino has emerged as a target for Newcastle should their takeover by a Saudi Arabian consortium go through unhindered.
