Mauricio Pochettino says it will be “really special” to return to a club he created “amazing memories” with when his Chelsea side travel to Tottenham in an English Premier League London Derby on Monday.

The Argentine spent five years as Spurs manager before he was sacked in 2019 and led the club to its first UEFA Champions League final earlier that year.

He will return to the north London club for the first time in four years with Chelsea on Monday night.

Following his Tottenham departure, former Espanyol boss Pochettino took over at Paris St-Germain in 2021, where he claimed the first trophies of his managerial career by winning the 2021 Coupe de France and 2022 Ligue 1 title.
