Chelsea veteran Thiago Silva previously hailed Mauricio Pochettino ’s knowledge of football as the Argentine edges towards a move to Stamford Bridge.
The former Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain boss has held talks with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy regarding the prospect of taking the reins in west London. He ranks highly among the club’s list of candidates as the Blues search for a permanent successor to Graham Potter.
He is among a host of names in the running to be appointed including former Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann, whilst Luis Enrique was previously linked but appears to have fallen down the pecking order over recent days. And Chelsea star Silva appears to be giving Pochettino’s arrival at Stamford Bridge the thumbs up.
