We’ve seen some crazy stuff over the years in European football, but the possibility of two major sides literally exchanging coaches seemed nothing further from reality. Until now.According to several French and English media, Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain are close to agreeing on an unprecedented coach swap! As soon as July, Antonio Conte will probably move to PSG while the Saints’ current boss Mauricio Pochettino is about to return to his much-loved Spurs dugout.TUE: 22.00: (1.57) MAN CITY (4.30) REAL MADRID (6.25)Albeit it seems strange at first, there appears to be a willingness on both sides to continue with the deal. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is not satisfied with Conte’s perennial high demands and won’t stand the fact his club is miles away from the Champions League surroundings, let alone the UCL showdown to which Poch took them back in 2019.In summer 2018, Tottenham didn’t spend a penny on their squad.In April 2019, they reached the Champions League semi-finals!Mauricio Pochettino performing miracles 🙌Cue absolute scenes! 👏👏pic.twitter.com/CMIoioO3Hs— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) April 17, 2020 Therefore, the North Londoners are more than willing to shake hands with their ex-coach and move on from their stopped after his departure. On 19 November 2019, Pochettino was dismissed by Tottenham Hotspur with the side placed 14th in the Premier League table, with chairman Levy citing “extremely disappointing” domestic results as the reason behind the dismissal. Heh, two-and-a-half years later, that disappointment doesn’t ring a bell, obviously.Pochettino stunned by Ten Hag’s appointmentBut what about PSG; what’s their reason for replacing Poch? Collecting domestic accolades displeases Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his associates, as the UCL title remains a mission impossible for the Parc des Princes outfit under Pochettino’s reign. Ligue 1 title means nothing when you are after the Champions League: Pochettino is leaving PSGThe Argentine boss has failed to impose his football philosophy on a squad packed with superstars like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. That Real Madrid’s second-half perfect storm at the Santiago Bernabeu served as an ideal example of Poch’s inability to restore the team’s morale and condition once the mighty machine started throttling. And it was not the first time PSG saw themselves being dismantled after a more than promising start to a game.##EDITORS_CHOICE##That sort of flaw keeps hunting Pochettino in the City of Lights, and, as things stand, it’s much wiser for him to move on. He could enjoy some more fruitful years back with the Spurs – hopefully still relying on never better Harry Kane, who flourished under Poch’s guidance a few years ago.Kane: The players couldn’t be happier with Conte, our chances for the Champions League are more than realisticKane may be pushing to leave once again, while transfer funds will be limited, and the rigours of the Europa League will undoubtedly impact their Premier League form. As per The Telegraph, Conte will wait until the summer to decide his Tottenham future as he believes the north London club need to sign at least six new players to ‘match his ambitions.’Conte: ‘This is a disaster, I cannot continue like this’The stars could align for Conte to move on this summer to PSG, and then Spurs have a ready-made replacement who loves the club, did a phenomenal job from 2014-to 2019 and has proven he can turn them into top-four contenders.
