It has been officially announced that Mauricio Pochettino will have a new manager position, but it won't be at Chelsea as everyone had anticipated.
The former Tottenham manager is reportedly finalizing a three-year contract to become Chelsea's next head coach, and an official announcement is about to follow.
Pochettino's return to management will be his first since being fired by Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the previous campaign, or so we initially believed.
Pochettino unexpectedly accepted to take charge of the World XI team against England at Soccer Aid.
Old Trafford will host the charity game for Unicef on June 11, so Stamford Bridge will have to wait.
It is a genuine joy to be a part of a game that is a significant cultural event in this nation's annual calendar, and rightfully so given how much money it earns for Unicef.
It will be wonderful to experience it again next month since I like English football stadiums, the fervor the supporters have for the game, and the atmosphere they create.
Usain Bolt will serve as captain, and fellow Argentines Gabriel Batistuta and Hernan Crespo will also be on the team.
The Pochettino announcement you've all been waiting for.
