Domino’s Pizza taunt Tottenham fans with a savage tweet on Chelsea agreeing deal for Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports.
Poch is reportedly on his way to being the new boss of Chelsea, who were looking for a new permanent manager since the sacking of Graham Potter in April.
The Blues brought in Frank Lampard as their interim manager to give them time to find Potter’s permanent successor.
Pochettino, an ex-manager of Tottenham and PSG, appears to be their choice.
Matt Law, the Daily Telegraph, claims that Chelsea has agreed to terms with Pochettino for him to become head coach.
In the next few weeks, we will announce that the contract has been signed, but this isn’t sitting well with Tottenham fans.
Pochettino remains highly respected at the club despite his impressive tenure as manager from 2014 to 2019.
Domino’s has now added salt to the wounds of Spurs fans by mocking them with a savage tweet.
Following the news of Pochettino’s imminent appointment as Chelsea manager, Domino’s tweeted: “Sorry if your pizza is delayed this evening – this is due to flooding caused by the tears of Spurs fans.”

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville feels Pochettino is the right man to take charge on a permanent basis at Stamford Bridge.
“Based on what [Chelsea co-owner Todd] Boehly has said, Chelsea have done their spending for the next three years – apart from signing a centre-forward,” Neville told Sky Sports in April.
“If they appoint Zinedine Zidane, Luis Enrique or Diego Simeone, they’re going to want to have another £300m as they won’t like some of the players they’ve previously signed.
“They’ve got to appoint a manager who is going to inherit and like the squad that they’ve got – a lot of them are young – and I think that man is Mauricio Pochettino.”
Sky Sports’ Joe Shread: While Mauricio Pochettino will no doubt be excited to return to the Premier League and Chelsea will be delighted to have secured a manager of his pedigree, there is a lot riding on the Argentine’s appointment – for both parties.
Unusually for a manager whose previous Premier League stint ended with him being sacked by Tottenham nearly four years ago, Pochettino’s stock remains high in the top flight, with Spurs’ regression since his exit helping to explain why.
But while the 51-year-old is rightly praised for the work he did at Spurs, culminating in their first Champions League final in 2019, he ultimately failed to bring any long-awaited silverware to north London during his five-year spell in charge – the kind of record that won’t be tolerated at Chelsea.
Pochettino did end his personal trophy drought at Paris Saint-Germain, winning the French Cup in 2021 and Ligue 1 a year later, but he was also sacked by the French giants and has been out of work since last summer.
That’s a long time for an elite coach to be away from the day-to-day of club management, while the fact that Unai Emery was still at Arsenal and Frank Lampard had only just begun his first spell in charge of Chelsea at the point of Pochettino’s Spurs exit shows how long he has been away from the Premier League.
Sky Sports News’ Paul Gilmour: “There is still the formal sign-off to come but that is expected to be a formality now that this agreement has been reached. And it is quite surreal, with it being a manager, certainly in English football, who is associated with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea’s rivals.
“Mauricio Pochettino knows that he will have a big job on his hands at Chelsea with rebuilding. The squad is huge, the numbers need to come well down.
“We also heard Harry Kane talk this week about the values that were created under Mauricio Pochettino, and that is something that he has, you would say, as his biggest strength. He knows how to bring a group of players together. He is very much a people person, somebody who can galvanise and work with what he has got.
“Chelsea have spent a large amount of money, but he will have money to spend as well you would expect to tweak and add further strength in certain positions. But what has become clear over the last few weeks is that he will be the next Chelsea manager, and it appears now that Chelsea have got their man.”
