Chelsea will have their work cut out to make Mauricio Pochettino their new manager - if the Argentine's comments on managing one of Tottenham's rivals are anything to go by.
Pochettino remains a popular figure in N17 after leading Spurs for five-and-a-half years between 2014 and 2019, guiding them to two finals and a second-place finish in the Premier League. He joined Paris Saint-Germain after he was sacked by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and won two major honours before leaving the French giants after 18 months this summer.
The 50-year-old remains a free agent and is an attractive prospect given his track record and preference to play a pleasing brand of football. Therefore, it was no surprise to see Pochettino named on Chelsea's managerial shortlist to replace Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked on Wednesday morning.
