“Mauricio Pochettino in talks to become Chelsea’s new coach, sets strict conditions for ownership interference”

Since leaving PSG last summer, Mauricio Pochettino has been looking for a new challenge. That’s good, Chelsea is ready to offer him the reins of his team.

Mauricio Pochettino did not have the desired experience at PSG. The Argentinian left in the anonymity of the club of the capital. But he had time to recover. Like a lot of great coaches without a job, he is waiting for the best challenge to relaunch his career. He has a very good rating in the Premier League after his spells at Southampton and Tottenham. While Chelsea are looking for a new coach, knowing that Frank Lampard is only there to take over, the 2021 European champions have set their sights on Mauricio Pochettino. A challenge that appeals to the Argentinian, even if the latter has already set very strict conditions to accept it.

Pochettino cash with Boehly

According to information from l’Express, to sign for Chelsea, Pochettino made a clear request to Todd Boehly, the new owner of the London club. The former PSG simply wants to ban the billionaire from entering the locker room. In recent weeks, Boehly has not hesitated to give his opinion to the players in the locker room, which has caused quite a stir across the Channel. For Pochettino, this type of behavior is not possible and he will need complete freedom of movement with his players. It remains to be seen whether the American will accept this request, which should not be too complicated. Julien Laurens has also recently indicated on the subject: “I’m told they talked about it in the many interviews Pochettino had with Boehly and the sporting directors. This has been addressed and rightly so, I think. Boehly knows that Pochettino’s personality doesn’t allow for any sort of interference from ownership or anything like that.”. All parties are in negotiations and an arrival of Pochettino at Chelsea is progressing well. The Argentinian would have the task of bringing the Londoners back to the Champions League after this totally failed season.
