Mauricio Pochettino is set to return to Chelsea just 19 days after his departure.
The 52-year-old is facing an awkward reunion with the Stamford Bridge crowd, following his back-door departure at the end of the season.
The Blues announced on Tuesday that Pochettino is leaving the role after only one year in charge.
But Pochettino already has a date in the diary to be back at the Premier League club.
This is because he is due to manage the ‘World XI’ at Soccer Aid, hosted at Chelsea’s stadium, on Sunday, June 9.
The game will also see the return of legends like Frank Lampard and Eden Hazard.
Pochettino did not say goodbye to Chelsea’s supporters on Sunday during their final game of the season, going straight down the tunnel to conduct his media duties while his players took part in a lap of honour.
