Mauricio Pochettino first job at Chelsea clear as Paris-Saint Germain make Lionel Messi decision

Mauricio Pochettino's first job as Chelsea manager has become clear if he is appointed as Graham Potter's successor. The Argentine is favourite to land the vacant managerial role at Stamford Bridge after holding positive talks with Blues' representatives in recent weeks.

Sources have told football.london that there is still nothing to report regarding an imminent agreement between the two parties with Pochettino making a number of key demands, including bringing in his own backroom staff. Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were spotted in Los Angeles ahead of a crucial meeting that aimed to reach a final decision on appointing a new manager.

Pochettino managed Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain during the 2021/22 season in which they won the Ligue 1 title. The former Tottenham boss left the French giants after their Ligue 1 success and has been without a job since.
