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.
