Mauricio Pochettino named Chelsea manager as ex-Tottenham boss seals Premier League return.
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as the new Chelsea head coach following another round of positive talks with Stamford Bridge chief Todd Boehly.
Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach from July 1.
The Blues have been searching for a new permanent boss after parting company with Graham Potter at the start of April. And while Todd Boehly moved swiftly to install club legend Frank Lampard as caretaker manager, the Londoners have been working hard behind the scenes to source Potter’s long-term successor.
Pochettino has signed a two-year contract with an option of a third 12 months, and will be charged with improving Chelsea’s form following a wretched season which ended with them finishing 12th in the Premier League after losing 16 league matches across the course of the campaign.
Club owners Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, José E. Feliciano, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss said: “The sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the board is proud of.
“We are delighted that Mauricio will be joining Chelsea. Mauricio is a world-class coach with an outstanding track record. We are all looking forward to having him on board.”
