Spurs fans were delighted to see Alasdair Gold post a picture of Mauricio Pochettino on Twitter this week.
Gold posted a picture of the Argentinian from an event in London that saw the former Spurs manager make his first media appearance in front of UK media since he was sacked by Daniel Levy in November of last year.
The 47-year-old was there to discuss La Liga but also took questions about his own return to football management, in which he failed to rule out a return to the Premier League.
Pochettino was originally appointed by Spurs in 2014 and spent five years at the North London club before his untimely sacking earlier this season.
The 47-year-old is highly regarded by a lot of Spurs fans thanks to his help in transforming the club into Champions League regulars, with the former Espanyol man helping Spurs to four top-four finishes, as well as the memorable run to the Champions League final last season.
Would you want Pochettino back at Spurs?

These Spurs fans clearly enjoyed seeing the picture of Pochettino looking happy and healthy, with many commenting that they would love to see the Argentinian back at the club in the future.
What do we think?
Although Mourinho has pushed Spurs back up the table slightly during his time in charge, their form in 2020 so far suggests that a top-four finish could still be a serious struggle.
You have to wonder where Spurs would be if they had stuck with Pochettino and backed him more during the summer transfer window.
