Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expects Mauricio Pochettino to get a great reception on Monday night.

The Argentine head coach is heading back to his old club with his new team, Spurs' bitter rivals Chelsea.

While fans are not happy at Poch for taking the Stamford Bridge job, he was not wanted by Spurs for their vacancy in the summer.

Postecoglou told reporters: “I doubt there will be anything but respect for Mauricio from anyone at this football club, supporters or people associated, but it doesn't mean he will get a guard of honor on Monday night because we want to win.

“I don't think he would expect that, but his tenure here and impact here is undeniable, and it will stand the test of time.

“Whenever people think of Mauricio and his time here as manager, they will only look upon it with respect and fondness.

“He almost took the club to the ultimate summit of the Champions League, got close to the league, so his work is unquestioned.

“Everyone I speak to around here, there are still people who worked with him, they can't speak highly enough of him as a person and as a manager."
