Argentina’s Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the manager of Chelsea, one of the English Premier League teams.
In the statement made by the club, it was stated that a two-season agreement was reached with the 51-year-old coach, effective from 1 July, and there is a one-year option clause in the contract.
Pochettino, who previously coached Southampton and Tottenham in the Premier League, won the league and French Cup championships with the French representative Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), whom he took office in 2021.
Despite making big-budget transfers, Chelsea, which was far from the success it aimed this season, finished the league in the 12th place with 44 points.
Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new head coach!
