Malang Sarr slams Mauricio Pochettino over 'Who?' press conference

Malang Sarr has spoken about his turbulent departure from Chelsea, sharply criticising Mauricio Pochettino after a viral 2023 press conference in which the manager appeared not to recognise him. When asked about Sarr and goalkeeper Jamie Cumming, Pochettino asked, "Who?" and later said, "Oh my goodness.

Malana Sarr and then Jamie? I don’t know what I can tell you." Reflecting on the moment on the Kampo podcast, Sarr said: "I felt like smashing everything up when he said that because I know what’s going on behind my back... He’s doing it on purpose. I know he knows me.

It’s impossible he didn’t know me." Sarr argued the snub felt deliberate, noting that Pochettino had previously tried to sign him for Tottenham and had even told his assistant on Sarr’s arrival, "Look who’s here, we tried to sign him at Tottenham, and now we are working together here!" He questioned how a coach who once pursued him could suddenly forget his identity.
