Can Mauricio Pochettino (51) become Chelsea’s new manager?
British media ‘Goal.com’ reported on the 21st (Korean time), “Director Pochettino talked about long-term vision with Chelsea owner Todd Boerley. Chairman Boerley is rumored to have had an impressive conversation.”
“Pochettino’s clear vision has impressed the Chelsea leadership,” he added.
After parting ways with manager Graham Porter, Chelsea are working on appointing a new manager. The strongest candidates are Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann.
British media ‘Sky Sports’ reported that “Chelsea and manager Pochettino (51) have started negotiations.
He added, “Pochettino has recently received offers to coach from several teams, but he turned them all down. Real Madrid also approached Pochettino, but he was rejected.”
Coach Pochettino led Tottenham for five years until 2019, and together with Son Heung-min, produced good results such as runner-up in the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-19 season.
After parting ways with Tottenham in November 2019 due to poor performance, he took over the Paris Saint-Germain baton in January 2021. But regret remains. They only won the French Cup (FA Cup) in the 2020-21 season, but failed to achieve satisfactory results in Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League. In the end, it was hardened in July of last year.
Nonetheless, he is a recognized director. This is why Chelsea are considering him as their next head coach. Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville said: “Chelsea’s club has already spent all their money on investment for the next three seasons. From this point of view, Pochettino is the best leader to take over the current squad, which has many young players,” he recommended.먹튀검증
Tottenham and Chelsea are London rivals. Could being from Tottenham be a problem? The media said, “Despite the rivalry, Pochettino will have no problem becoming Chelsea’s manager.”
“Chelsea will continue to talk with Pochettino and Nagelsmann. Former Spanish manager Luis Enrique, who has received a lot of attention, is getting more and more distant,” he predicted.
