    "editor1": "The United States: United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino has dismissed speculation linking him with a return to Tottenham Hotspur, stating that taking over from Ange Postecoglou is \"not realistic\" at this time.\n<p>Postecoglou was sacked as Hotspur head coach on Friday, despite guiding Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pochettino, who spent five years in charge of Tottenham before leaving in November 2019, has been rumoured as a potential successor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the Argentine - appointed as US head coach in October 2024 - has expressed contentment with his current role.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Today it's not realistic. Look where I am. Look where we (his backroom staff) are. The answer is so clear. I think, since I left in 2019, my name has always been on the list (of rumours),\" said Pochettino.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I've seen the rumours, we are 100 coaches on the list. Don't be worried about that. If something happens (in the future), you for sure will see, but I am so happy in this moment and we cannot talk about this type of thing,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He made the comments following the US national team's 2-1 loss to Turkey in Connecticut. The defeat marked the team\u2019s third in a row, bringing Pochettino\u2019s record to five wins and four losses in his first nine matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During his previous spell at Spurs, Pochettino led the team to the Champions League final in 2019 and secured a second-place finish in the Premier League in 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brentford boss Thomas Frank is among the leading candidates to take over at Tottenham, with Fulham\u2019s Marco Silva also attracting interest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During his previous spell at Spurs, Pochettino led the team to the Champions League final in 2019 and secured a second-place finish in the Premier League in 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
