“Mauricio Pochettino named Chelsea’s new manager after Lampard departure”

Mauricio Pochettino, 51, is Chelsea’s new manager.

Interim manager Frank Lampard has left and the Argentine will take over the helm this summer.

– He is a winning coach, say sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley in unison press release.

It remains to be seen whether Mauricio Pochettino gets to keep the job for a longer period of time than his predecessors.

Chelsea saw off three managers (Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard) last season, which ended in twelfth place in the Premier League.

“World Class”

Now it’s Pochettino’s turn to get the chance and the ownership group believes in him.

– Mauricio is a world-class coach with an outstanding track record. We are all looking forward to him coming on board, the owners said in a statement.

– He is a winning coach who has worked at the highest level, say sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
