If Mauricio Pochettino was presented with a to-do list at Chelsea, we could be here all day writing it.
The Argentine coach looks set to be appointed as the Blues' new permanent manager following multiple rounds of positive talks between the two parties, football.london understands. Pochettino represents himself and does not have an agent and negotiations thus far have been deemed as progressive. The 51-year-old, at the time of writing, is the clear front-runner for the vacant role.
Pochettino has been out of management since being let go by Paris Saint-Germain last summer and his return to football is set to be one of his biggest challenges to date. He is expected to take over a Chelsea squad devoid of confidence and will take one of the most pressurised jobs in world football.
