Mauricio Pochettino says he is “really sad” to see Tottenham Hotspur struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table.

Despite moving on, he admitted the club still holds a special place in his life.
Possible return in future
Pochettino has frequently been linked with a return to Spurs and did not rule out the possibility.
He said his coaching style and personality suit English football, hinting that a comeback to the Premier League could happen one day.
Relegation battle continues
Tottenham’s recent win over Wolverhampton Wanderers was their first league victory of the year, offering a glimmer of hope.
However, injuries to key players like Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke have added to their troubles.
With crucial fixtures ahead, including a clash with Aston Villa, Spurs face a tense run-in as they aim to secure their top-flight status.
