The Daily Mail have revealed that Mauricio Pochettino does not view Tottenham’s rivalry with Chelsea as being of the same intensity as their one with Arsenal, which is why he is open to taking over at Stamford Bridge.
Over the last 24 hours, reports have emerged that Pochettino is now the favourite to replace Graham Potter at Chelsea after Julian Nagelsmann pulled out of the race for the job.

The Telegraph revealed on Friday that the former Tottenham manager has impressed the Blues hierarchy, who admire the work that the Argentine did during his five-and-a-half-year spell in North London.
The Independent subsequently explained yesterday that while the rivalry between Spurs and Chelsea has crossed Pochettino’s mind, he is ‘keen’ to get a top job in the Premier League, which is why he is open to taking over at the West London club.
The Mail have now offered more clarity on the 51-year-old’s thinking, stating that the rivalry between the two clubs is ‘not an issue’ for him.
This is because he does not see the animosity between Tottenham and Chelsea as being as high as the one between the Lilywhites and the Gunners.

However, there is no doubt that the Argentine would instantly lose all the love he has among Spurs fans if he joins that lot.
