Mauricio Pochettino Appointed as Chelsea Head Coach
A New Era Begins at Stamford Bridge
The Blues Appoint Former Tottenham Manager
Chelsea Football Club has announced the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach on a three-year deal. The Argentine manager replaces Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked after a disappointing start to the season.
Pochettino has a wealth of experience in English football, having previously managed Tottenham Hotspur for five years. During his time at White Hart Lane, he guided the club to their first-ever Champions League final in 2019.
Chelsea owner Todd Boehly expressed his delight at the appointment, saying: "We are thrilled to welcome Mauricio to Chelsea. He is a world-class coach with a proven track record of success at the highest level. We believe that he is the ideal person to lead us into the future and to build on the strong foundations that we have in place."
Pochettino said: "I am honored to have been appointed head coach of Chelsea. This is a huge privilege and I am excited to be part of this historic club. I believe that we have a great squad and I am confident that we can achieve great things together."
Pochettino will take charge of his first game as Chelsea head coach on August 12, when the Blues travel to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League.
