Mauricio Pochettino is due to be in London this week to sign the contract that will see him become Chelsea's next permanent head coach, football.london understands.
It was confirmed on Sunday evening that the Argentine had finally reached an agreement with Chelsea to take over the club at the end of the season. After weeks of endless negotiations, with Pochettino representing himself, a deal has now been agreed but a contract is yet to be signed.
That will be done at some point this week, a source has told football.london on Monday morning, with the 51-year-old expected to jet into London to wrap things up. The former Tottenham manager has been out of a job since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last summer. While he has had offers, he's been waiting for the right job to come around and he believes Chelsea is just that.
