Chelsea appoint Pochettino as new head coach.

The agreement to name Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s permanent coach has been reached by Chelsea Football Club.

At the conclusion of this season, 51-year-old Pochettino will succeed Frank Lampard as the club’s manager.

After being let go by Tottenham Hotspur in November 2019, he made a comeback to the English Premier League.

Pochettino, who made 20 appearances for Argentina, joined Espanyol, where he had played more than 250 times, as a manager in January 2009.

With Chelsea sitting in 11th place in the English Premier League and having failed to win the league title this year, Pochettino has a monumental challenge ahead of him.
