Why Mauricio Pochettino has not been announced as new Chelsea manager yet

On Saturday evening, football.london brought you the news that the 51-year-old had agreed a deal to become the Blues' new permanent boss at the end of the season. After weeks of negotiations with Chelsea, with Pochettino representing himself, the two parties finally agreed on a deal at the weekend, just hours after the Blues' 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Pochettino is expected to be in London to sign the contract this week and finalise the deal to see him take over at the end of the season. The former Tottenham manager is expected to sign a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge – and that is still the case.
