Tottenham fans sing Mauricio Pochettino's name on flight to Madrid

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino was serenaded by a plane full of Tottenham Hotspur supporters while travelling to Madrid for Spurs’ Champions League tie. The atmosphere turned festive when the 54-year-old was spotted and fans broke into the familiar chant: "He's magic, you know...

Mauricio Pochettino!" Cheeky calls of "We want you back" and "Bring him home" followed throughout the journey. Pochettino, who led Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, remains a popular figure despite subsequent spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. He has also emerged as a top candidate to take over at Real Madrid next season.

The interaction came amid wider talk about his future. He has said he is "open to everything" once his USMNT contract ends after the World Cup, and has criticised a club's lack of ambition while expressing a desire to win the Premier League and Champions League before he retires.
