Managing Chelsea looks enough to leave anyone in a muddle these days, but Mauricio Pochettino saw the funny side as he got his Atkinsons in a twist and thought Big Ron was the comedian who played Mr Bean.
He was fielding a question about his first return to Tottenham, tonight, and whether he feared his auto-pilot might kick in, and lead him to the wrong dressing room or the wrong bench, a mistake veteran boss Ron Atkinson made when appointed manager of Nottingham Forest.
‘Ah, Mr Bean,’ nodded Pochettino before realising from the reaction of the room that he might be on the wrong track.
