Former Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez has agreed with Gary Neville on how Mauricio Pochettino may perform at Stamford Bridge next season. The Blues have confirmed Pochettino's appointment as the club's new manager after the Argentine signed a contract until 2025, with the option of a third year.
Pochettino will take over managerial duties from caretaker boss Frank Lampard and officially begin his new role with Chelsea on July 1. The 51-year-old held positive talks with club representatives over the course of April and May and has now been confirmed as Graham Potter's permanent successor.
Lampard is set to assist Pochettino in the handover ahead of next season and a busy summer transfer window. The 51-year-old is said to want to sign a new goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker but will have to wait for players to leave the club before new signings can be brought into the squad.
