Mauricio Pochettino has described returning to Tottenham on Monday as “really special” and said he will “respect” any supporter who boos him given he is now manager of Chelsea.

Pochettino spent five years at Spurs, a period in which the club finished second in the Premier League and reached the final of the Champions League. The Argentinian’s time also involved a successful move to a hugely impressive new stadium and, as such, it was no surprise to hear him speak so effusively about his first trip to the venue since he was sacked by Daniel Levy in November 2019.
