Pochettino took to Instagram to share a picture from his trip to visit Salt Bae – real name Nusret Gokce.
Pochettino’s Instagram story caption read: “Nice to see you my friend! @nusr_et Always top!”
The post was shared by the Turkish chef, who shared his own pic from the meeting, declaring the Argentine boss to have a “beautiful family”.
He also shared an image of the two of them together, with the caption “Great person amazing coach”.
Salt Bae caused fury at the 2022 World Cup after pestering celebrating Argentina players on the pitch to hold the trophy.
The restaurateur, whose technique for preparing and seasoning meat became an internet meme, owns Nusr-Et, a chain of luxury steak houses across the world including one in Knightsbridge.
And Poch is now enjoying some down time after his time in West London was cut short to one season.
The former Spurs man left Chelsea despite securing European football for next season for the Blues.
