I TOOK A GAMBLE TO JOIN CHELSEA – POCHETTINO
Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has claimed he took a gamble on himself by accepting the job at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino was appointed as the Blues’ permanent head coach last summer after he was sacked at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine, who was also linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United, admits he knew the Chelsea job would be “a massive challenge”.
He said: “I played with my reputation to come to Chelsea also, in a project that is to build a team with young, talented players with the potential to become top players.

“We knew that was a massive challenge but I want to give the team the tools to win games, believe in ourselves, and build a very good relationship”.
Chelsea’s 4-3 victory over United on Thursday, saw them climb up to 10th place with 43 points.
