“Official statement ready, he’s starting his job as Chelsea manager next week. Contract will be valid until June 2026. Here we go confirmed.”
The 51-year-old has been out of work since July last year when he was let go by PSG. Pochettino won his first three trophies as a manager while in France, including the Ligue 1 title.
Chelsea fans will surely be excited about this news as they can now look toward the future under their new boss.
It’s fair to say that things haven’t gone to plan this year and the former Tottenham coach will have his work cut out to get Chelsea back on track.
Chelsea sit 27 points behind Newcastle in fourth place which highlights the magnitude of the job he will be taking on.
