Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that he would return to Chelsea for the SoccerAid match this weekend.
Pochettino said this while breaking his silence following his departure from Chelsea two weeks ago.
He announced this in a post via his Instagram account on Tuesday.
The Argentine led Chelsea back into European competition during his first season, despite a tumultuous start.
Pochettino, however, parted ways with the Premier League west London club by mutual consent in May.
Chelsea have since named Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, a decision confirmed on Monday.
“To the owners, the sporting directors we appreciate the opportunity to return to the Premier League at this great club and for the support you gave us, as well as from all the players, staff and fans – thank you,” Pochettino wrote on Instagram.
“We understand how important this football club is to you all and that is why we work so hard to give you a Chelsea you can be proud of.
“I want to wish all of you the best for next season and beyond.
“It is great that we have the chance to return to Stamford Bridge so soon with SoccerAid this weekend and I hope that we get to see some of you there too.
“I hope you all get to have a great summer. Big hug from us, MP x.”
