Mauricio Pochettino: Chelsea and the former Tottenham manager agree on a contract
Posted : 14 May 2023
Mauricio Pochettino, the former manager of Tottenham, has signed a contract to become Chelsea's new manager.
Frank Lampard will continue to serve as the club's interim manager through the end of the current campaign. He will join in the summer.
Since Paris St. Germain replaced him with Christophe Galtier in the summer of 2022, Pochettino, who has previously coached Southampton, has been unemployed.
From 2014 to 2019, the 51-year-old Argentine manager of Spurs guided them to the 2019 Champions League final.
After Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were fired earlier this season, Pochettino will be Chelsea's sixth permanent manager in five years.
Following Potter's firing, Lampard assumed interim control of the Blues at the beginning of April.
Chelsea has had a challenging season, losing to Manchester City in both the League Cup and FA Cup third round.
After Tottenham parted ways with Antonio Conte in March, Pochettino had been mentioned as a potential replacement.
In 2015, he led Spurs to the League Cup final; in 2016–17, his team finished as runners-up in the Premier League, losing both competitions to Chelsea.
