Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly in constant contact with Mauricio Pochettino about a return to north London, according to a report.

Spurs have endured a tough spell trying to find stability with their manager following Pochettino’s 2019 exit. Indeed, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo both tried and failed to truly improve the club’s fortunes.

And he said recently: “I have one year left on my contract so logically it is not a question of desire but a question of contract.”

Le Parisien adds in its latest report that Zinedine Zidane is PSG’s ideal Pochettino successor. However, he wants to take over the France job form Didier Deschamps…
