Chelsea have taken a huge step towards further bolstering the squad ahead of next season following the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino. The 51-year-old was finally unveiled as the Blues' next head coach on Monday afternoon, penning a two-year contract with the option for a third.
football.london understands that Pochettino agreed a deal to replace Frank Lampard earlier this month after weeks of positive talks. The former Tottenham boss will officially start his role as manager on July 1, meaning he has a full pre-season to get his feet under the table and begin planning for next term.
Numerous players are expected to leave Chelsea this summer, but there will also be some new faces too. It appears that Pochettino and co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart have got off on the right foot.
