A few days ago, Pochettino, who has coached Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea and is currently the coach of the US national team, accepted an interview with talkSPOR reporter Ben Jacobs. Pochettino talked about returning to coaching in the Premier League and his previous coaching roles at Tottenham and Chelsea.

■Will you return to the Premier League in the future?

Pochettino said: "Maybe it is possible. My current challenge is the World Cup. I am focused on coaching the US national team. Maybe one day in the future, I will return to the Premier League."

■ Pochettino coached Tottenham for five years. In 2019, he led Tottenham to the Champions League final in Madrid just five months later. He was fired because the team ranked only 14th in the league and was replaced by Mourinho.

Pochettino said: "We were very close to winning the Premier League and the Champions League. We really wanted to win the Premier League and the Champions League for Tottenham, because Tottenham is a club worthy of such honors and trophies."

"Yes, why not return to the Premier League one day? For me, the Premier League is the best in the world The best league is also the most competitive. I don’t think this is an unfinished story, but I think, why not have the opportunity to challenge, participate in the Premier League, and compete for important honors?”

■ Although Pochettino’s coaching achievements at Tottenham are still widely recognized, his experience at Chelsea has been full of challenges. At that time, the Blues were in the early stages after Burley took over, and the team's lineup was undergoing drastic changes. The blockbuster signings of Caicedo and Enzo brought tremendous pressure. Pochettino has always felt that he is not suitable for such an fast-paced project.

When asked if the current Chelsea project is different from the one he experienced at that time, Pochettino replied: "Yes, I think Chelsea now is different from the past project, and I wish them all the best. I spent a very happy time there. I have a good relationship with the people and players at the club. Although we are separated, the relationship is still good."

"I wish him all the best. We are lucky, they have a lot of very young, very talented players. Of course, there are ups and downs, but I think they achieved some good results last season. They are now in the Champions League and close to the top four in the Premier League."

■ Pochettino said that his situation at Stamford Bridge is completely different from that of current coach Enzo Maresca. Chelsea gave Maresca a five-year contract, hoping to build a competitive team with a young lineup; Pochettino's task at the time was to return the team to glory within two years and accept a performance review after 12 months in charge.

Pochettino said: "I think it was a completely different situation and we both decided to separate. My goal in the first year was to stop the decline of the team because Chelsea was going so bad at that time. It is very difficult to reverse this negative momentum. You should remember that the team only won one game at Stamford Bridge at home in six to eight months. "Chelsea's plan is to rebuild the team with young players who have no Premier League experience. Players like Caicedo or Enzo were very young at the time, but they have gained experience and started to show their true strength now."
