“It’s about the timing”
In an interview with Sky Sports, the Argentine coach has said he still turns to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for advice and guidance.
When asked if he there was ever a possibility he could be managing England rather than the U.S, he said: “It’s always about the timing,”
“I was talking with my former president Daniel Levy and he says always football is about timings and he always told me, ‘Mauricio, always it’s timing.'”
“It’s true because he has experience in football and it’s a privilege to be head coach of the England national team.”
“But the timings sometimes are not in the same, in the moment that you can be available like this and this option disappears.”
Mauricio Pochettino open to Tottenham return
Pochettino led Spurs to the Champions League final before departing in 2019.
He later managed Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea before taking charge of the USMNT.
Meanwhile, Levy has appointed four permanent managers at Spurs since Pochettino’s departure, with current boss Ange Postecoglou under pressure amid a prolonged run of poor form.
Although open to a return to Tottenham, Pochettino said he would not consider it before leading the U.S. at next year’s World Cup at home.
“Look, when I left the club I always remember one interview I said I would like one day to come back to Tottenham and that is of course,” he said.
“I am in the USA, I am not going to going to talk about that, but what I said then still after six years or five years, I still feel in my heart that, yes, I would like one day to come back. We see the timing, like Daniel said.”
