Mauricio Pochettino has already revealed discussions he has had with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe about the Premier League during their time working together in the French capital. The Argentine has agreed a deal to become Chelsea's next head coach ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, football.london understands.
Pochettino has been out of a job since he left PSG following their Ligue 1 title success back at the end of the 2021/22 season. Todd Boehly had originally considered the 51-year-old to become the Blues' manager after sacking Thomas Tuchel, but opted for Graham Potter instead.
Now, after weeks of postive negotiations, Pochettino looks set to take charge at Stamford Bridge and will be assisted by Frank Lampard during the handover at the end of the 2022/23 campaign. Chelsea are set to overhaul the squad again this summer and have been linked with the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi.
