Jesus Perez insists Pochettino will be back

Mauricio Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez is adamant the Argentine will one day return to Tottenham Hotspur.

Now with PSG, Pochettino spent five years at Spurs before being sacked in November 2019.

But Perez says Pochettino has maintained a good relationship with Spurs chief Daniel Levy.

Perez told the Evening Standard: “Every day Daniel crossed to Mauricio’s office and he joined us on the topic we were discussing.

“Then most of the time we had breakfast with him and lunch at the training ground. We, as a staff, never started lunch until Mauricio or Daniel was at the table. That’s something we always respected.

“Mauricio and Daniel still text each other and they have a very good relationship. We don’t have any bad feelings with Daniel. The other way around. It was a professional decision.

“At some point, we had to split but we will be back at Spurs for sure.”
