Pochettino Leaves Chelsea
London side club Chelsea FC have been going through a lot of ups and downs for the last two years. Following Roman Abvramovic’s exit from Chelsea ownership, new owner Todd Boehly heavily invested in Chelsea. He wants quick success, and that is why he doesn’t want to give time to the managers.
Under Boehly’s ownership, Chelsea have changed five managers in just two years! Mauricio Pochettino joined Chelsea when the club finished the league in 12th under Frank Lampard. However, the London side club has finished this season in 6th and secured European football for next season. Pochettino also took the club to the final of the Carabao Cup and the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Yet the owners are not convinced by Pochettino’s approach. As a result, Pochettino left the club by mutual consent after three meetings with Todd Boehly.
Pochettino said, “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.”
However, the club also confirmed that Pochettino’s coaching staff, Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez, and Sebastiano Pochettino have left the club.
Who will be the next?
