Chelsea is about to confirm the hiring of Mauricio Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino, 51, is now expected to take over at Stamford Bridge after being linked with a move to Chelsea in recent weeks.
Since leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Mauricio Pochettino has been jobless, but he will shortly take over at Chelsea. There is an agreement in principle, and the former Tottenham manager will sign a long-term contract with Chelsea, claims renowned Italian writer Rudy Galetti.
Graham Potter needs to be replaced by a long-term player, therefore Pochettino would be a wise choice for the Blues. Currently serving as the club's interim manager is legendary Chelsea player Frank Lampard. But under his leadership, West Londoners have been extremely poor.
It remains to be seen if Pochettino can improve the situation at Stamford Bridge. He will be expected to have an instant impact. According to recent sources, the managerial appointment should be settled this week.
Chelsea has had a poor season thus far, and they are probably going to miss out on qualifying for the Champions League. Chelsea has not been able to maximise the potential of its players despite spending millions of pounds on fresh acquisitions.
Pochettino has previously served as a manager for Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. The 51-year-old is well-versed in the league and ought to be able to revive the Chelsea team. There is no denying that Chelsea has a youthful, talented team that is capable of competing for major prizes.
Pochettino should have the ability to turn them into legitimate title contenders for the following season with a few high-caliber additions made during the summer transfer window. Losing out on playing in the Champions League would be catastrophic for the Blues. It would therefore be interesting to observe if they are have to offload some players in order to balance the books. Chelsea has made significant purchases in the recent transfer windows.
But due of the Financial Fairplay rules, they must attempt to generate some more revenue. Managers like Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann have also been mentioned in connection with Chelsea. But the Stamford Bridge hierarchy has now chosen to move forward with Pochettino's hiring because they think he will be the best person to lead the team forward.
