VIDEO: Chelsea's Mauricio Pochettino becomes latest manager to hang out with Salt Bae after embarrassing Mikel Arteta moment ahead of Carabao Cup final showdown with Liverpool

The Turkish chef became infamous during the 2022 World Cup final for his attempts to hold the trophy and his interference with the celebrations of the Argentina team. Despite facing criticism from football fans following that incident, Pochettino didn't shy away from visiting the celebrity chef's restaurant Nusr-Et.

Pochettino lavished praise on the restaurant and said: "Everything is perfect. The best restaurant."

Salt Bae asked: "Sunday?"

Pochettino was a bit surprised with that and said: "We will see. It will be tough but we will try."

Salt Bae then wished him luck for the upcoming Carabao Cup final and the pair embraced each other.

Earlier in January, Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, had also paid a visit to Salt Bae's restaurant. However, Arteta's encounter with the chef didn't go down well with the fans, and he faced ridicule on social media after a video surfaced of him being fed steak by Salt Bae.

Arsenal haven't lost a game since Arteta met Salt Bae in January. Now, Chelsea fans would hope that Pochettino's meeting would bring the same luck and they would go on to beat Liverpool in the League Cup title decider on Sunday at Wembley.
