The reported talks and growing confidence regarding the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea’s head coach concluded successfully. Chelsea Football Club officially confirmed Pochettino’s appointment on Monday, May 29, 2023.
The club’s ownership group, led by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, expressed confidence in the appointment, citing the Argentine as a “world-class coach with an outstanding track record.”
Pochettino is tasked with restoring stability and improving the performance of a team that finished 12th in the Premier League after spending nearly £600 million since the previous summer.
Pochettino’s appointment means a return to the Premier League after being unemployed since leaving Paris Saint-Germain the previous summer, and his history with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur was ultimately not considered an impediment to taking the job.
