Mauricio Pochettino now looks destined to become Chelsea's next manager after further positive talks between the Blues hierarchy and the Argentine. When Graham Potter succeeded Thomas Tuchel last September, Pochettino was on the managerial wish list for Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali and now seven months down the line, the co-controlling owners look set to appoint Pochettino to replace Potter.
Chelsea's search for a new head coach has been tumultuous to say the least, with Julian Nagelsmann shockingly pulling out of the race last Friday, but the favourite is now clear. Further dialogue between the two parties has taken place and multiple reports are indicating that Pochettino is on the verge of being appointed by the Blues.
The Tottenham links to Pochettino looked to be the biggest obstacle stopping him from coming in at Chelsea, with Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique as the early front-runners. However, any worries have since been eradicated following the mostly positive fan reception to links between Chelsea and Pochettino.
