POCHETTINO LEAVES CHELSEA | CHELSEA WANT A 'YOUNG' MANAGER

Mauricio Pochettino has left his position as Chelsea head coach by mutual consent after less than 11 months in charge.

Chelsea’s decision to part ways with the 52-year-old Argentine comes following the conclusion of an internal review into the club’s 2023-24 season performance led by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.


In a Chelsea statement, Winstanley and Stewart said of the decision: “On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season. He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career.”

Pochettino has said of his exit: “Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and Sporting Directors for the opportunity to be part of this football club’s history. The Club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”
