Tottenham are in need of a new manager, and former Chelsea defender John Terry thinks it will be Mauricio Pochettino.

The former Blues captain, who is of course still employed at the club within the academy, speaks quite a lot about football on his TikTok account, and he quite often throws up some interesting subjects and comments.

EXCLUSIVE! The 25 players on Chelsea’s summer shortlist for transfer targets and scouting REVEALED!!

This week, he has been talking about the story of the last two days, and that is Tottenham sacking yet another manager in the shape of Thomas Frank, who departed the club yesterday.

Spurs are now in need of another new manager, and Terry thinks that they might put a temporary option in until the end of the season, before handing the reigns to Pochettino in the summer.

Pochettino is currently manager of the USA national side and is likely to still lead them in the World Cup.

However John Terry is predicting he will then say his goodbyes and become the new Spurs boss.

He said on his TikTok: “They certainly need a new manager bounce. It’s looking like De Zerbi is the favourite until the end of the season. Robbie Keane’s been linked until the end of the season as well.

“But I think the main one who Spurs fans want and everyone’s talking about is Pochettino to come back. Obviously worked with him and seen him work at Chelsea.

“Great manager, done great for Spurs previously as well, but I think he’s gonna be the one to take Spurs into next season.”

In other news…

Cole Palmer’s late miss against Leeds united earlier this week was a shocker – Chelsea could have had the three points they deserved had he put it away. But as you’d expect, Liam Rosenior was hardly going to lay into his star attacker, who had more than done his part in the game.

Nicolas Jackson looks like he will be left out of Bayern Munich’s squad for tonight’s cup game against RB Leipzig. And potentially more squad going forward, now they have so many attacking options.
