Gary Neville has tipped Mauricio Pochettino to transform Chelsea with the Argentine close to being confirmed as the new boss at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues, languishing in 12 th in the Premier League, have had four different managers this campaign, with Thomas Tuchel replaced by Graham Potter in September. Yet the former Brighton manager’s recent dismissal saw Bruno Saltor oversee first-team affairs for one game before Frank Lampard was appointed as interim boss.
Lampard became the club’s first manager to lose each of his opening four matches in the hotseat before his miserable time in the dugout continued this week as Brentford inflicted a fifth successive defeat for the Blues with a two-goal victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
