Finally. The wait is over. Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as the new Chelsea head coach.
The Argentine has signed a two-year contract at Stamford Bridge with the option of a further 12 months. Pochettino will officially start his role on July 1, just in time for pre-season training as Chelsea jet off to the United States.
A statement from the Chelsea owners read: "The sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the Board is proud of. We are delighted that Mauricio will be joining Chelsea. Mauricio is a world-class coach with an outstanding track record. We are all looking forward to having him on board."
