Chelsea have finally reached an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino, who they have been chasing for weeks.
Chelsea has finally resolved the issue of the coach and will lead them from the summer Mauricio Pochettinoreports well-informed Italian journalist and insider Fabricio Romano. Negotiations with Pochettino have been going on for weeks and just when it seemed that the deal would fail, club boss Tod Boley agreed to all the conditions set by the Argentine, which means that he will have free hands to give up excess footballers, i.e. he will bring to the club associates without whom he did not want to come at “Stamford Bridge”.
Also, Mauricio Pochettino will receive a large budget for new players, but the question is how much Chelsea will be allowed to buy since he spent 600 million euros in the previous year, and he will not play in the Champions League. Financial fair play could cause big problems, but surely the Argentine knows what he’s getting himself into.
Chelsea has been without a coach since March when they replaced Graham Potter, the coach with whom they signed a five-year contract this summer. The results were not good, the atmosphere was not great, so it was decided that after failed negotiations with Luis Enrique, Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino – they would choose a temporary solution. The famous Frank Lampard has arrived which led Chelsea to the worst results in the last 30 years, and the club can “boast” that it has won one game since March 18, a few days ago against Bournemouth away (3:1).
We will see if Pochettino will manage to “shake up” Chelsea as he did on the bench of Tottenham, a club with which he did not win anything, but played in the Champions League final in 2019. Only a few months later he was fired. Since then, he worked in Paris Saint-Germain, but he failed to fit in with stars like Messi and Mbappe, so after winning three cups, he also got a “basket”. He also worked in Espanyol and Southampton.
