The two men played together at Paris Saint Germain more than two decades ago.
ARSENAL BOSS MIKEL Arteta revealed on Friday that “role model” Mauricio Pochettino once advised him not to go into coaching as he prepares his side to take on Chelsea on Saturday.
Despite ignoring Pochettino’s advice on coaching, Arteta spoke warmly about the Argentine at his pre-match press conference on Friday. Advertisement “He looked after me like a little child, like a little brother, and he was a big part of the success I had in Paris because he really looked after me, gave me a lot of confidence and advice.
“I knew he was going to be a coach,” he added. “I followed him very closely. As a player he was already a leader — the way he understood the game, he was phenomenal. I used to have him in my back and he was constantly coaching me.” “We arrived in Paris together, we spent time together with our families, first of all in the hotel and then we lived very close.
