Chelsea have had a messy season behind them. Thomas Tuchel was sacked early and replaced by Graham Potter. However, the Swedish acquaintance did not manage to get “The Blues” in order, instead he was also fired at the beginning of April.

Since then, club icon Frank Lampard has acted as interim coach in the search for a permanent solution. And now the London team has found its name.

On Sunday, The Guardian reports that it is clear that Mauricio Pochettino will take over as the new head coach for Chelsea starting this summer. The Argentine has signed a contract that runs until the summer of 2026, according to the newspaper.

The transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano also has the same tasks. The whole thing is expected to be official shortly.

Pochettino has been unemployed since being forced out of Paris Saint-Germain last year. The 51-year-old is perhaps mainly associated with his fine work in both Tottenham and Southampton in the Premier League.

Chelsea are in twelfth place in the Premier League with one game to play.
