Mauricio Pochettino is still waiting fort his next managerial role.
The Argentinian, who was well liked at Tottenham during five-and-a-half successful years, was sacked by Daniel Levy following a poor start to the 2019/20 season.
He was replaced by Jose Mourinho, who has overseen a period of change in the summer transfer window, bringing in six players.
And rumours are growing that Pochettino could soon be back in the dugout, with reports linking him with replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Mourinho's old club Manchester United.
United were thumped 6-1 by Spurs at Old Trafford before the international break to increase the pressure on Solskjaer and Pochettino is the 4/6 favourite to replace him with SkyBet.
Speaking in May, Pochettino opened up on where his next job might be.
He said: "Football is very dynamic and you need to be ready for the moment when the offer appears, the new chapter in your professional life.
"Always, you dream of the perfect club. The perfect project. It’s difficult to discover until the project is not [what is put] on the table. It’s difficult to assess. From outside, it’s difficult to measure the capacity of the clubs, the capacity of the players, the squad.
"You need to share ideas in the moment that some club approaches you and start to talk. To try to find if the project is a good fit or not. It’s so important in this moment, when the reality comes, to try to talk.
"But from outside, it’s so difficult to assess the clubs, the people, the players. You need to be very respectful because sometimes the temptation is to talk a lot from outside, to analyse teams, to analyse individual performances, chairmen, staff, fans.
"It’s so important to show the respect because until you are in, and you start to work and to share ideas and try to build a philosophy, it’s so difficult to see how the people behave and to see how it will be possible. Also, there is the pace of the project [to consider].
"It’s difficult to know what project is going to be the right project. There are many things, at the moment, that we have in our minds about how things are going to be after this virus hopefully disappears, but how are these clubs or companies, because that’s what they are, going to be?
"It’s a big question mark. That’s why it’s so difficult. We are a coaching staff that are open to listen to all the projects, all the people.
"We are learning and sharing ideas. You never know when it’s going to be the motivation or the inspiration to say 'Oh, they are the right people', and you want to be with them or their club.
"We are very receptive to listen to all the people because every single conversation we can learn from and maybe we can see a motivation to go with them.
"We are so open. Of course we love England, and the Premier League. We feel very good here. We are still living here in London. I am not going to change [my feelings] now because I am not involved in the Premier League, because I am no longer the Tottenham manager, I am not going to change my vision.
"I still think the Premier League is the best league in the world. We enjoy it a lot. Of course, it’s one of the options. Of course, it can be my priority but I am not closed to move to a different country."
However, Pochettino admits that his circumstances at home make it slightly more difficult to take on a job abroad.
"Yes, yes, yes. It’s going to be difficult [to take a job in another country] but not impossible.
"We are professional and we are going to find a way to create again and to feel good. If we do change the country, always we are going to miss England.
"We spend more than seven years in two amazing places in Southampton and London. We are very lucky people."
Becoming a manager elsewhere also throws up the possibility of Pochettino taking on Tottenham as the boss of the opposition.
"Well, it might never happen or maybe it happens quick, you never know," he said. "But like when it happened when we played against Southampton it’s going to be special, for sure.
"However, it’s going to be a game that we’d try to win as the professionals that we are. Of course, with all my respect for the club, the people and the fans. It would be special to come back to Tottenham."
