Mauricio Pochettino is set to be appointed as Chelsea' manager ahead of the summer transfer window after reaching an agreement with the club, football.london understands. The Argentine is yet to officially sign a contract with the Blues, but after weeks of positive talks an agreement has now been reached between the two parties.
Pochettino will be under no illusions regarding the size of the task he is taking on at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have endured a poor season and will not feature in any European competition next term.
Frank Lampard was brought in as caretaker manager until the end of the season after Todd Boehly sacked Graham Potter in April. The American co-owner has admitted to making a number of mistakes this season and will be hoping that things start to improve under Pochettino next term.
