Mauricio Pochettino silence explained as Chelsea make key point in statement

Mauricio Pochettino is yet to address his decision to join Chelsea with the club confirming a deal had been agreed for him to start next month.

Pochettino will officially begin work at Stamford Bridge on July 1, per the club's statement, with Jesus Perez, Miguel D'Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino joining him on Chelsea's coaching staff. In a statement released by Chelsea on Monday afternoon, the club said that a contract of two years has been agreed with Pochettino with the option for a further year held in their favour.

Pochettino returns to the dugout for the first time since he left Paris Saint-Germain last July. He was dismissed on July 5, a year after signing a contract extension that would see him remain at the Parc de Princes until June this year.
