A seemingly innocuous coffee meeting has sent ripples of speculation through the Tottenham Hotspur fanbase.
An alleged photograph has emerged depicting former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino and chairman Daniel Levy in conversation at Limes Hadley Wood, a café conveniently located near the club’s Hotspur Way training ground.
The proximity of the location immediately suggests the encounter was more than just a chance meeting between two familiar faces.
Further details surrounding the alleged rendezvous, which happened two weeks ago, have only intensified the intrigue.
This particular branch of Limes only opened its doors in September, indicating the meeting was recent.
Moreover, Pochettino was reportedly wearing the same hat and coat he has been spotted in throughout this month, further solidifying the timeline.
While some might argue the public nature of the meeting diminishes its significance, others suggest this could have been a deliberate move, perhaps even a subtle signal.
The purpose of the meeting remains shrouded in mystery. Was it simply a friendly catch-up between two individuals who share a significant history? Or was there a more strategic agenda at play?
For Levy, the timing is notable.
While current manager Ange Postecoglou retains the support of many fans, recent results have been inconsistent with the 2-0 loss to Fulham fresh in the minds.
A meeting with the hugely popular Pochettino could be interpreted as Levy sounding out potential alternatives, or even attempting to gauge the former manager’s interest in a return.
From Pochettino’s perspective, the reasons for the meeting are equally open to interpretation.
Pochettino recently expressed his enduring affection for Tottenham Hotspur and his openness to returning to the club in the future.

In a Sky Sports interview, he mentioned that he still feels a strong connection to Spurs and would like to come back “one day,” though he emphasized that the timing would need to be right.
Currently managing the U.S. Men’s National Team, Pochettino has ruled out any immediate return, as his focus is on leading the U.S. at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
He also revealed that he maintains a positive personal relationship with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, despite their professional split in 2019.
