Mauricio Pochettino appears to have been handed an early blow to his summer preparations at Chelsea. The Argentine is expected to be unveiled as the new manager at Stamford Bridge.
football.london understands that Pochettino has agreed a deal to take the hot seat in the Blues dugout at the end of the season. After weeks of positive negotiations, the two parties finally reached an agreement just hours after the west Londoners' draw with Nottingham Forest.
No official confirmation of the deal is yet to be announced from the club, but work behind-the-scenes is expected to be well underway at Cobham ahead of the summer transfer window. The Blues are due to experience another busy summer, with Todd Boehly keen to ensure there is no repeat of this season's disappointing performances.
