There were numerous candidates. Chelsea's final choice is Mauricio Pochettino.
British media 'BBC' said on the 26th (Korean time), "Chelsea is in negotiations with Pochettino. Significant progress has been made towards the appointment of a manager. Chelsea want a quick finish. "he said.
After sacking Graham Porter at the end of the season, Chelsea appointed Frank Lampard as interim manager. Lampard is only in charge of the team until this season. Chelsea quickly took the job of appointing a formal manager.
Various leaders were nominated for the new director. Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked from Bayern Munich, and Luis Enrique, who stepped down as coach of the Spanish national team, looked promising. The two traveled to London to meet with Chelsea's board and seek out the managerial position.
However, both failed to capture the hearts of the 스포츠중계 Chelsea leadership. Rather, Pochettino, who was rumored to return to Tottenham, has risen rapidly.
Pochettino rose to fame as Tottenham manager from 2014 to 2019. Tottenham consistently entered the top 4 of the Premier League and even won the runner-up in the UEFA Champions League.
After that, he went to PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) coach. After being sacked from PSG last summer, he has no team.
In the UK, Chelsea's choice is judged to be reasonable. However, it is not uncommon to expect that Pochettino will have a conflict with Todd Boelli, the owner of the team, who directly intervenes in the team by entering the locker room after every game.
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton said: "It makes sense for Chelsea to choose Pochettino as manager. So I would like check here to ask Boelli one question: will he still go to the locker room if Pochettino becomes manager? Pochettino will want to be in control. If Boelli does it the old way, it will inevitably be bumped into."
