CHELSEA AGREE DEAL TO APPOINT POCHETTINO AS NEXT HEAD COACH
Chelsea have agreed a deal to appoint former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as their next head coach with the official announcement imminent. However, he will only take over from caretaker manager Frank Lampard at the end of this season.
The 51-year-old Argentine is set to return to the Premier League after being sacked by Chelsea’s London rivals Spurs in November 2019.
Pochettino will permanently succeed Graham Potter, who was dismissed at the start of April after less than seven months in charge.
The Argentine has been out of work since being sacked by Paris Saint-Germain last summer after 18 months in charge of the French side, having guided them to the Ligue 1 title in 2022 and the French Cup the year before.
The ex-Espanyol boss managed Spurs for five years from May 2014 but failed to win a trophy at the north London club.
He led them to the 2019 Champions League final, which they lost to Liverpool, and also guided them to the 2015 League Cup final and a second-place finish in the 2016/17 Premier League season, with Chelsea winning both competitions.
