Sacked Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he's met with former Arsenal manager Unai Emery.

Pochettino and Emery were sacked by Tottenham and Arsenal respectively within ten days of each other in November last year.

Though the pair were rivals, both in charge in north London, they had a secret meeting alongside Pochettino's assistant Jesus Perez.

“Before the pandemic, me and Jesus met with Unai for a coffee, to talk and share our experiences," Pochettino told the Guardian.

“We were working in different clubs, we were at the enemy, and people were walking past and saying: 'Unai and Pochettino and Jesus are now sharing a coffee!'

“It was in Cockfosters [in north London]. It was very funny.

“It has been an amazing time to review and analyse everything: training sessions, games, our methodology, our models of training … to design specific and collective works.

“And, of course, to try to adapt for the new normality, to be ready for any eventuality, because the demands are going to be completely different."
