Mauricio Pochettino will officially begin work as Chelsea manager on July 1st, with the former PSG boss having his start date determined by the terms of his departure from his former club.
As revealed by Mirror Football, the Argentine is being delayed from taking charge at Stamford Bridge. That's because of the terms of his contract with the French club, which states he is not allowed take charge of a new club until that date, the day when FIFA officially recognise international summer transfers and after his contract in Paris was due to reach its conclusion.
Otherwise, the ex-Spurs boss must forfeit payments made to him by PSG since his exit from the Parc des Princes. Nevertheless, he is already getting, unofficially at least, down to business, having held preliminary talks with co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
