With the club languishing in 16th place in the Premier League table, just above the relegation zone, Tottenham parted with Thomas Frank after eight months in charge and replaced him with interim boss Igor Tudor.
Tudor’s first game in charge ended in defeat to league leaders Arsenal and many fans are worried that the club will drop into the relegation zone in the coming weeks.
As the board search for a permanent replacement, USMNT manager Pochettino has been asked about rumours linking him back to his former side.
“There are always rumours, I'm always linked (to clubs),” Pochettino told Spanish radio programme Radiogaceta de los Deportes. “To Tottenham, just like at one time I was linked to Espanyol, or to other clubs.
“In the end, especially because of my past at those clubs, when things aren't going well, people tend to fall back on emotions and say, "Well, with Mauricio we played good football," or whatever it may be.
“We're focused on the World Cup, on the United States. My contract runs until after the World Cup, so after that we'll see what might happen.
“Open to everything, right?”
The Argentine is a fan favourite and took charge of more Premier League matches than any other Spurs manager and prior to his final season, he had the best points-per-game ratio in the club's league history.
Slipping into the Championship would be unthinkable for Tottenham and if it did happen, it is unlikely that Pochettino would step in to try and save the club in what could be an impossible task.
