Mauricio Pochettino is determined to rebuild Chelsea after finally being confirmed as the club’s new boss.
Former Tottenham manager Pochettino, 51, has signed a two-year contract with the club also holding an option to extend for another 12 months. Pochettino will take charge on July 1 and will be given the backing to reshape the Chelsea squad this summer with the clear aim of making them contenders to get back into Europe next season.
Chelsea are certain to offload players with Mason Mount a big target for Manchester United and they are under financial pressure to sell to balance the books and reduce the squad numbers. However, Pochettino will also hold talks with Romelu Lukaku who is set to return from a loan spell at Inter Milan to establish whether he has a long term future at Chelsea.
