Rumours are rife that Mauricio Pochettino is set for a shock return to Tottenham, with the Argentine now the 4/9 favourite to do so.
Pochettino has come in for plenty of support in the betting, and after Belgium manager Roberto Martinez was favourite for a couple of days, the ex-Spurs boss now heads the market.
The Argentine manager, who was sacked by Tottenham in November 2019, is reportedly considering the move back to North London.
Spurs have regressed further since his departure, with Jose Mourinho struggling to get the best out of a talented side before Ryan Mason took interim charge to end the 2020/21 season.
Pochettino's PSG side failed to win Ligue 1 after his appointment in January, narrowly edged out by Lille, and were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City at the semi-final stage.

Tottenham however have reportedly been in talks with Roberto Martinez, who is due to lead Belguim at the upcoming European Championships, with close friends of the Spanish coach revealing he is keen to return to club management once the international tournament is over.
Former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was initially the favourite to be appointed next Tottenham manager but has drifted in the betting since his departure from Molineux, while Erik ten Hag, Graham Potter and Brendan Rodger are other notable names linked with the vacancy.
Antonio Conte, who parted ways with Inter Milan after winning their first league title since Jose Mourinho's tenure, is now the third favourite, with the former Chelsea boss a tempting proposition for Daniel Levy given his track record of delivering titles.
