Although there was talk of Julian Nagelsmann immediately following Graham Potter’s sacking, talks between the two sides have not progressed.

Next came Luis Enrique, the former coach of the Spanish national football team, who also traveled to London for talks with the Chelsea management with the idea of ​​taking charge of the team in the summer.

Negotiations have broken down and Mauricio Pochettino, the manager who led Tottenham Hotspur to the UEFA Champions League final in 2018/19, is now in first place.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano writes that the Argentinian coach and Stamford Bridge officials have reached an agreement, with the final details of the contract to be finalised, for him to lead the team at the end of this season.

In the Premier League, Mauricio Pochettino also coached Southampton (2013-2014) and Tottenham (2014-2019), outside England he also coached Espanyol (2009-2012) and Paris Saint-Germain (2021-2022).

On his account, the 51-year-old coach won Ligue 1, the Cup and the French Super Cup.
