"Tottenham's circumstances were completely different from what you expect to find at a club like Tottenham today. They were a team with 33 players, was a team trying to create an identity, to change the period that they were building until then."
Mauricio Pochettino's verdict on what he walked into at White Hart Lane in 2013 has some eerie similarities to the setting that he could be coming into at Chelsea should he be made the club's next head coach. From the bloated squad to wasted transfer funds and a lack of identity, this is something he believes he has already done before.
Speaking as an out of work boss in 2020, Pochettino's words about Spurs at the time will ring true in the minds of Chelsea fans currently. After sacking Graham Potter the owners are looking for their third permanent head coach in under 12 months.
