Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has dropped a massive hint that Mauricio Pochettino is set to become the club's new head coach. The Argentine has held positive talks with the club after moving into place as the front-runner last week.
It comes as the new regime at Stamford Bridge search for their third permanent manager in 11 months since taking over. The 51-year-old former Tottenham boss is now in the clear to be appointed ahead of the new season.
The Times reported that key talks would be held in LA over the weekend to make a final decision over Pochettino and their presence in America has been confirmed after Todd Boehly and Eghbali were spotted at the LA Lakers' game on Saturday.
