Mauricio Pochettino is poised to take over at Chelsea - breaking hearts at his former club Tottenham.
The 51-year-old Argentine is set to become the fourth man at the Stamford Bridge helm this season after the Blues’ American owners sacked Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter and with Frank Lampard in caretaker charge. Talks are ongoing but the expectation is that Pochettino will take his trusted lieutenants, Jesus Perez and Steve Hitchen with him.
Chelsea's American owners are keen to steady the ship in time for high-profile games against Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United. Lampard has endured a nightmare run during his brief interim spell, losing to Wolves and Brighton in the Premier League and Real Madrid home and away in the Champions League.
