Mauricio Pochettino has dismissed speculation about returning to Tottenham Hotspur after the club sacked Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham sacked Postecoglou on Friday, just 16 days after he led them to their first major trophy in 17 years, winning the Europa League final against Manchester United.
Pochettino, who managed Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, stated that a return is "not realistic" at this stage, despite being linked with the job.
Several other managers, including Thomas Frank, Oliver Glasner, and Marco Silva, have been linked to the Spurs job.
Pochettino is currently focused on his role as the United States coach, having signed a two-year contract in September to lead the team at the 2026 World Cup.
