Mauricio Pochettino has not been back to Tottenham in nearly four years since his sacking.
‘I was thinking to dress in a different way, put on a mask or something but it was too risky,’ he said with a smile as he considered the idea, but his first return will be on Monday, and he appreciates the homecoming reception would have been warmer were he not in the colours of Chelsea.
Maybe it is still not too late to conjure up a disguise. ‘We cannot guess,’ said Pochettino, when asked what he expected.
