Positives are proving hard to find for Chelsea at this moment in time, but the expected arrival of Mauricio Pochettino could significantly change their fortunes. football.london understands a deal has been agreed for the Argentine to become the Blues next manager ahead of another crucial summer transfer window and major reset campaign.
In their penultimate game of the 2022/23 season, Chelsea suffered Premier League loss number 16 in a contest against Manchester United which perfectly encapsulated their last nine months. Chances were created but not finished and individual mistakes ultimately ended up severely costing Chelsea.
With confidence on the floor for most Chelsea stars, Pochettino's first task at Stamford Bridge looks set to be giving the players some belief with his clear methods and ideas. When he joined Tottenham in 2014, the appointment was somewhat scoffed at, but it was soon proven that he was the perfect man for the job at that time.
