He transformed the Saints from relegation battlers into top six contenders and since being appointed Spurs boss eighteen months ago, has forged a young, promising and industrious side that are now considered the dark horses in this season’s Premier League title race.
The Times claim the 43-year-old’s rapid rise has convinced the Chelsea hierarchy that he could be their ideal long-term successor to Jose Mourinho, who was axed in December to make way for Guus Hiddink’s second interim spell with the west Londoners.

However, the Blues’ list of potential candidates also includes Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, fellow Argentine Jorge Sampaoli – who recently stepped down as Chile gaffer after guiding them to Copa America glory – and France national team manager Didier Deschamps.
Why do moronic so called reporters write stuff like this as if it’s a foregone conclusion that if Chelsea came calling, Pochettino would leave Spurs? He’s already said that the only clubs he’d leave Spurs for are Barca or RM. And why do they write these things as if Chelsea are a bigger club than Spurs? Before their Russian mafia owner turned up, they were a poorly supported mid table club.
