Mauricio Pochettino's first season as Chelsea manager simulated with exceptional results

Chelsea will embark on the 2023/24 season under new management after Mauricio Pochettinho was announced as the new Blues boss earlier this week.

Signing a two-year contract with the option for a further year, Pochettino becomes the fifth manager to have managed both Chelsea and Tottenham, with the Argentine having spent over five years in north London with Spurs. The season just gone will go down as one of the Blues' worst in history, with Frank Lampard the last of three managers to lead Chelsea to a 12th-place finish in the Premier League.

Pochettino has been out of management since the end of the 2021/22 season after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, and the 51-year-old will join up with his squad on July 1 to lead his team during pre-season. The Blues had been linked with Pochettino multiple times along with Spurs who continue their search for a new manager.
