Mauricio Pochettino has been dealt a huge blow to his hopes of winning the Premier League with Chelsea next season, according to Cesc Fabregas' theory. The former Tottenham boss has been heavily linked with the head coach vacancy at Stamford Bridge recently, and he now looks set to be appointed.
football.london understands that the Blues have agreed a deal to make Pochettino the club's new manager. After weeks of positive talks, Pochettino is set to takeover from Frank Lampard at the end of the season.
It's said that the 51-year-old is yet to put pen to paper on a contract but he's expected to do so soon. Pochettino will have a full pre-season to get his feet under the table and begin planning for next term, though his arrival could still be too late.
