Pundit Garth Crooks has that Tottenham Hotspur chief Daniel Le🔥vy has to hire Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s next manager.

Crooks the cuꦯrrent managerial situation at Spurs in his Team of the Week column.

Ryan Mason is the latest person leading the club fr💝om the dugout this ✃season.

After dismissing Antonio Conte and his replacement Cristian Stellini, the pressure is on Daniel Le🤪vy to make the right call this summer.

Tottenham had a very positive start to the campaign, and were even 🐼briefly top of the league.

However, everything has quickly unravelled in north London, and now Champions Lea💝gue football looks virtually out of the ♉question.

Plenty of names have been linked with the job at Toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚttenham in rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚecent weeks.

Discussions are reportedly ongoing with Julian Nagelsmann after he was dismiss🐎ed by Bayern Munꦡich.

They’ve also held talks with Feyenoord boss Ar🍎ne Slot who is having a great season in the Netherlands.

However, Crooks believes Daniel Levy has to bring Mauricio Pochettino back to Tottenham this summer.

Any other decisions, he꧋ believes, ꦯwould be very irresponsible.

Tottenham chief Levy must hire Pochettino – Crooks

Speaking about the vacant role at Spurs, : “If the 𒅌Tottenham board are to be taken seriously then they must give the fans what they🐻 want and the players what they need.

“Their next mana�🌊�gerial appointment must be Mauricio Pochettino who should have been appointed the moment Antonio Conte walked out the door.

“Sh📖ould Pochettino be allowed to join London rivals Chelsea, who are in a considerably worse position than Spurs, it would be nothing short ꦇof a dereliction of duty by Tottenham’s executives.”

The prospect of Pochettino joining Chelsea over Tottenham will be a sickening thought for S🐠purs fans, ꧅and another unpopular call from Levy.

David Ornstein reported last week tha💎t Tottenham’s board was unanimous in not appointing Pochettino.

There’s some logic to not going back to a manager that a club previously felt they had to sack in ༒the past.

However, Tottenham’s most successful recent period came ♌when the A💙rgentinian was in charge.

There’s clearly a big connectio🧸n between the club, the fans and Pochettino that s♏houldn’t be ignored.

It will be a bitt꧋er blow for Tottenham fans if theꦗy have to welcome Pochettino back to north London next season if he’s wearing Chelsea colours.
