Mikel Arteta has described Mauricio Pochettino as a big brother from their time at PSG and believes the Chelsea manager is turning things around

First published on Fri 20 Oct 2023 12.36 CESTbefore the pair go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening, with the Arsenal manager describing his Chelsea counterpart as “really inspirational”, “really supportive” and akin to an older brother who was fundamental to him having a career in football.

“I could not speak the language, it was my first professional club, and I needed someone to be close to me,” Arteta said. “He was always giving me advice, giving me confidence, coaching me and talking to me. He was really inspirational, really supportive. He took me under his arm like a little child, a little brother. Every time I was doing something he was controlling me – ‘What did you do last night?’ He really looked after me.
