Joe Cole has offered a word of advice for Chelsea fans ahead of the expected appointment of Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine is moving closer to being named the new head coach at Stamford Bridge but faces a mountainous in-tray upon his arrival.
With the team currently 12th at the time of writing, the Blues are winless in eight and have lost five games in a row under interim boss Frank Lampard. With London rivals and title-chasing Arsenal up next things continue to look bleak for Chelsea.
The arrival of the 51-year-old is yet to be announced with final details still to be agreed but football.london understands talks are progressing well with Pochettino acting as his own agent. The tie to Tottenham is one of the reasons some are concerned about, though.
