Conte's Tottenham future remains in doubt with his lucrative contract set to expire this summer.
Spurs had planned discussions over a fresh deal back in December, but those talks are reportedly on hold with no clear decision made.
As a result, the Daily Mail claim a number of managers are now 'privately positioning themselves' as potential successors should the Italian depart.
Betfair think Pochettino is the most likely of those candidates, and and have priced him at Evens to return.
Pochettino was sacked after five years in charge of the Premier League club in November 2019.

The 50-year-old guided Tottenham to the League Cup final in his first full season while two third-placed finishes sandwiched a runners-up spot in the Premier League in 2017.
He also led Spurs to the final of the Champions League.
Pochettino has been out of work since his ill-fated spell at Paris Saint-Germain came to an end in the summer on 2022.
