Why is it taking Chelsea so long to hire Pochettino?
The Pride of London explains and debates the reasons behind the delay in appointing Mauricio Pochettino as the new manager of the Chelsea Football Club.
On Saturday, the CFC club finally achieved Frank Lampard's first victory as an interim manager. The troubles and fears of Chelsea fans were not alleviated by a victory on coronation day on the south coast. The 3-1 victory over Bournemouth served as a stark reminder of how the powerful have fallen. The opposing team's supporters, who were already winning, chanted for former chairman Roman Abramovich. There were sardonic and mocking chants of "We are staying up" along with cries for their beloved former boss. These songs demonstrate the supporters' disdain for the way the west London team is being operated under Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, even during a Premier League triumph.
In the meantime, the rumor cycle has picked back up again with no indication of a damaged system from the winter. More signings, according to many authors and experts, will solve the difficulties at Chels'. The massive staff changes and tidal wave of transfers that led to CFC's current predicament. The first step in the process is to energize the current, solid core of players. However, the Blues are already associated with a wealth of quality, both young and seasoned, as we look forward to the upcoming season with a touch of trepidation.
Why is Mauricio Pochettino's appointment as Chelsea's new manager taking so long?
At Stamford Bridge, picking the right head coach is now crucial. In essence, Thomas Tuchel might have stayed and produced a more fulfilling and cost-effective campaign. That, however, was not to be.
Pochettino will probably take over as Fulham Road's next manager. I think the Argentine, a capable and well-respected man, is now the best option, although some people were expecting him by now. Why is the ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager's move to Chelsea taking so long?
Football manager Mauricio Pochettino is still likely to take over as Chelsea's next manager.London is aware of the situation, but the fans are still unsure. Frank Lampard is getting ready to oversee his eighth game since taking over for Bruno Saltor as temporary head coach against Bournemouth, but more focus is being placed on Pochettino's whereabouts and decision.
The Argentine has had fruitful discussions with the Blues over the previous two weeks, but he negotiates his own contract without the assistance of an agent and will bring along a core group of four members of the backroom staff. Additionally, he enjoys scheduling their appointments first. It is ensuring that Todd Boehly-Clearlake's search for a third manager in a year is rigorous and exhausting.
There is also little reason to hurry. Even if Pochettino were to be appointed, Chelsea wouldn't immediately replace Lampard because they had nothing to play for this season.
