Mauricio Pochettino signs contract to become Chelsea head coach until 2026

The Argentinian manager will start the job next week at Stamford Bridge.

LONDON CALLING: Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will return to the city for the Stamford Bridge job. 

Mauricio Pochettino has signed a three-year contract to become the new Chelsea head coach. The Argentinian is in Spain but expects to start at Stamford Bridge next week, with the official announcement on his appointment expected in the coming days.

Chelsea have been looking for a new manager since firing Graham Potter last month. Pochettino verbally agreed to accepting the job earlier this month and will be the third permanent manager to work under the Todd Boehly-Clearlake capital ownership since they bought the club last year.
