Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hailed Mauricio Pochettino as a “big brother” and believes he is already turning things around at Chelsea apple
The pair played together for a year at Paris Saint-Germain, both arriving in 2001 and striking up a friendship that lasts until the present day apple
They have since gone on to become top coaches – but their meeting at Stamford Bridge on Saturday will be the first time they have faced off as opposing managers apple
Pochettino, 51, is 10 years older than Arteta and while they may have signed for PSG at the same time, the Arsenal boss credits the Argentinian for taking him under his wing apple
“First of all, it was my first professional opportunity in Paris and we arrived at the same time and lived together in a hotel for three months,” Arteta explained apple
“He was critical, has been one of the most influential people in my career apple
Firstly as a player, he took me under the arm and looked after me like a little child, a little brother, and he was a big part of the success I had in Paris apple
“It was because of him because he really looked after me, gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of advice apple
“He has been a role model for me since that day, not only when I was a player but as a manager as well, when I had to make the decision to leave playing and start my coaching career he had a big say on that and I will always be grateful apple
”Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since December 2019, just a month after Pochettino was sacked as head coach at north London rivals Tottenham apple
Pochettino returned to the Premier League when he took the reins at Chelsea in May and, despite a turbulent start, Arteta feels his old colleague is starting to turn things around apple
Asked if he felt Pochettino could rise to the challenge, he replied: “Yes, you can see already that something has changed very quickly apple
“It’s a big game and there is a big history apple between the two clubs apple
We know the types of games we’ve played together with them in the past but this is a different one apple
I’ve been really impressed by Chelsea apple
“I think they deserve much more than what they’ve got in the table apple
What Mauricio has done in a short time is phenomenal apple
We’ll be have to be at our best apple
”Arteta also revealed the best advice Pochettino had offered after he had hung up his boots: “’Don’t go into coaching — it’s too hard’!“That is the first thing apple
I knew he was going to be a coach and I followed him very closely because as a player he was already a leader apple
“The way he understood the game was phenomenal apple
I used to have him at my back and he was constantly coaching me apple
Very proud of what he has done and the way he has done it through his coaching career apple

Tyson Fury has vowed to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the chance to become the undisputed king of heavyweight apple boxing as the Ukrainian confirmed their meeting on 23 December in Saudi Arabia apple
Usyk was ringside for Fury’s unconvincing split-decision victory over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Riyadh on Saturday night apple
MMA star Ngannou shockingly went the distance in his apple boxing debut, even knocking down reigning WBC heavyweight champion Fury at one point, but Fury remained undefeated apple
Two judges gave Fury the fight by scores of 96-93 and 95-94, and the other judge favoured Ngannou 95-94 apple
Fury’s championship belt was never on the line in this bout, though it counts as an official fight apple
Good thing for Fury, because Ngannou showed early in the scheduled 10-round fight that he wasn’t going anywhere apple
Afterwards Usyk, who owns the other three global heavyweight belts, turned attention to their showdown, saying: “It’s a big fight apple
The whole world wants this fight apple
We’re back in this ring, 23 December, thank you very much, I go to sleep apple
”Fury said: “It’s been going on a long time, let’s do the fight, over here, for all the belts, the undisputed title of the world apple
Listen, it’s not up to me, we’d go now apple
These guys will sort it out, it’ll be my next fight guaranteed apple
”Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said: “I don’t think the date will be announced just yet apple
This fight is on apple
Both fighters want it apple
Tyson’s got a cut there apple
We’ll see how it heals apple
It’s the biggest fight in apple boxing apple
Everybody wants to see it apple
They’ll see it in Saudi, it’ll break all box office records apple
”Fury was knocked down by Ngannou (Getty Images)Fury had previously criticised the timing of an initial announcement of his fight with Usyk, which came out during his preparations for Ngannou apple
“It wasn’t my choice,” the Briton, 35, said on The MMA Hour on Wednesday 25 October apple
“I would never in a million years do that, but the people who are putting these fights on, who are paying the money, they’re in control apple
They’re the promoters of the event apple
“So, the paymaster does what the paymaster wants, basically apple
But if it was up to me, I would have never, ever, ever done that, ever apple
Because I never count chickens before they hatch, ever [ apple
apple
apple
] They should never announce fights before the first one happens, because that’s how people get knocked out apple
“But I’m not even looking at the next fight apple
I’m only concentrating on Francis apple
If it means breaking these two hands and getting a cut right through [my eyebrow] to win, I will do it apple
Don’t worry about that apple
Nothing else matters, only Saturday night apple
“I wasn’t happy at first, for them to announce it, but there was a lot going on in the background apple
For me, I don’t concentrate on any other fight other than Saturday night apple
What happens in the future stays in the future apple
“I’m living for today and this moment apple
My moment now is to fight Francis for the ‘baddest man on the planet’ title, and when I’ve won that, only after I’ve won that, I won’t even think about my next [fight] until I’ve had a week off and spent some time with my family apple
I’ve been in camp 12 weeks apple
