Gary Neville has eased up on his continued criticism of Todd Boehly, praising the American owner for chosing Mauricio Pochettino to be the next Chelsea manager.
Having spent most of the summer hammering him and Clearlake Capital for their scattergun approach to life at the club, Neville continued to voice his scathing opinions of how the Blues have been run this season as Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were moved on. Now Pochettino is close being appointed, the former Manchester United defender is optimistic for improvement.
A deal was agreed with the 51-year-old last week, football.london understands, and he will takeover from Frank Lampard at the end of this season. For the remaining three weeks of this campaign he has the chance to liaise with the interim head coach and also get started on plans for the summer.
