It is understood by football.london that a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to become the new Chelsea manager has been agreed. The Argentine has been away from the Premier League for four years having left Tottenham Hotspur and endured a spell in Ligue 1 with PSG.
After a number of offers from numerous clubs, Pochettino has determined Chelsea to be the club of choice and he will become a familiar yet new adversary of London rivals Arsenal again. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has never faced Pochettino before having arrived in north London when Jose Mourinho was the Spurs manager.
Arsenal and Chelsea’s paths have diverged and inverted in the time since the former Southampton boss’ departure from England. The Blues have declined whilst Arsenal have shot up the table and pushed Manchester City for a title.
