Pochettino hopes to stay at Chelsea for 25 years, hints possibility of Tottenham return

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he hopes to stay at the club for 20-25 years, ahead of their London derby against Tottenham.

In a recent interview, the Argentine gaffer said although it is uncertain, he hopes to stay longer as the Blues manager.

“Hopefully, I can stay at Chelsea until I die! 20 or 25 years, but you never know in football.”

While he holds on to his ambitions, he has left the door open to the possibility of managing Tottenham Hotspur again in the future.

Pochettino who was previously in charge of Tottenham, stated that managing their fierce London rivals does not necessarily rule out a return to Spurs.

The managers comments came ahead of his first return to Tottenham since he was sacked four years ago.

He will lead a Chelsea side into the much anticipated Monday night Premier League game, with eyes set on snatching a win against Ange Postecoglou’s men who are yet to lose a single match this season.

He said, “Who knows? It’s like life; you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. We need to enjoy today and not look too much into the future.”

Pochettino joined Chelsea in July on a two-year deal, with the option of a one-year extension. He has only spent four months in his current contract.
