After more than two months of waiting, Chelsea finally have a new manager. Having rushed into the appointment of Graham Potter, the owners have spent their time in recent weeks finalising the deal for Pochettinno. With nothing left to play for on the field it was all-focus on getting the next part right after 12 months of errors and mistakes.
"The sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the Board is proud of," said Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, Jose E. Feliciano, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss in the statement announcing the Argentine as the new head coach. Two managers on and lessons have been learned.
Pochettino does appear to tick a lot of boxes for Chelsea. The process of creating an extensive list of potential candidates including everyone from Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Carlo Ancelotti to Jose Mourinho, Vincent Kompany and Ange Postecoglu, has spat out a man suited to the job.
