Mauricio Pochettino breaks silence on interview and Tottenham return amid Thomas Frank decision

Mauricio Pochettino has firmly refuted any suggestions that he was approached by Brentford for their managerial vacancy. Despite widespread speculation linking him with a move back to the Premier League, Pochettino made it clear that no discussions took place.

Speaking to FOX Sports, Pochettino revealed: "This club never contacted me. I never talked to them."

He also discussed rumours associating him with a second spell at Tottenham, downplaying such talk as mere media conjecture. Earlier this month, Pochettino asserted: "Since I left in 2019, for the position of the manager or the head coach, my name has been appearing on every list! If you are seeing the rumors I've seen, there are 100 coaches on their list! Don't be worried about that. If something happened, you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing."

Further addressing the speculation, he reiterated: "If something happened, for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it's not real. It's not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we're talking about it because it's my club, like Newells or Espanyol."

Mauricio Pochettino has never been coy about his ambitions for a return to Tottenham Hotspur. He shared back in March: "I am going to repeat. In the bottom of my heart I still feel the same.", reports the Mirror.

"I would like one day to come back. Not because of my ego it's because my feeling is I would like one day to win with Tottenham."

"I think now Tottenham is a club with an expectation to win because if you see the facilities – training ground or stadium – now you can see it is about winning trophies. That is why I would like one day to come back.

"But if that doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. With all the possibilities again to build something special, that is my feeling and it didn't change. It's six years since we left and it's always going to be a special club for me."
