Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be in London this week having come to an agreement with Chelsea to become their next permanent boss. Like his predecessors, he will arrive into his first summer in the job with plenty of work to do.
The Argentinian boss may arrive with a more difficult job than most however with a bloated squad that is destined for a bottom-half finish come the end of the season. In many senses, it may have looked like a more appealing job in September when Chelsea first spoke to Pochettino but even then there were no shortage of underlying issues.
The summer will provide a fresh start to the whole club as the end of 2022/23 approaches and the club's owners reach their first anniversary of the takeover with 12 months of experience which should leave them more informed. Nevertheless, a tumultuous few months await to get the Blues back into shape.
