Chelsea FC Announce Mauricio Pochettino As New Manager by HonNL: 1:40pm On May 29, 2023
Chelsea Football Club is pleased to confirm Mauricio Pochettino will become head coach of the men’s team from the beginning of the 2023/24 season.

The Argentine will begin his new role on 1 July 2023 on a two-year contract, with a club option of a further year.

Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, said:

'Mauricio’s experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character will serve Chelsea Football Club well as we move forward. He is a winning coach, who has worked at the highest levels, in multiple leagues and languages. His ethos, tactical approach and commitment to development all made him the exceptional candidate.'

Owners Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, José E. Feliciano, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss added:

'The sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the Board is proud of. We are delighted that Mauricio will be joining Chelsea. Mauricio is a world-class coach with an outstanding track record. We are all looking forward to having him on board.'

Pochettino is a coach renowned for his sides’ high-energy and eye-catching style and he has built a reputation for helping young players realise their full potential within a strong squad ethos.

The 51-year-old has several seasons of Premier League experience in addition to coaching in Spain and France. He was most recently in charge at Paris Saint-Germain and guided the club to a Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.

Mauricio’s staff will include Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino.

Welcome to Chelsea, Mauricio!

I remember a Tiktok video wherein 3 guys were singing for Chelsea, and the lyrics goes thus:

Gbogbo wa la lowo m be, gbogbo wa la lowo m be, b'aiye Chelsea se baje, gbogbo wa la lowo m be. Leeds lowo m be… baye Chelsea se baje, gbogbo wa la lowo m be.

Chelsea should like be disbanded.
They've crashed as a club.

Football fans and fanatics, don't come for me o!
I'm not a fan of football.

I hope he succeeds, much better than that fraud and other fraudulent English managers.

The English invented football but they refuse to accept that they are mediocre at it, both as players and as managers. However, the Premiership is top notch I must say.

Securing the services of Mauricio Pochettino as the manager could potentially be a positive thing for Chelsea. The Argentine has a plethora of experience managing in the PL with Southampton and Tottenham Hotspurs. Under his management, in his first season, Southampton finished eighth in the PL whereas Spurs finished fifth and managed to reach the League Cup final. Pochettino led Spurs to some close PL title challenges, finishing in the top 4 in four out of the five full seasons. He peaked with the Spurs when they reached the final of UCL in the 2018–19 season.

He began his managerial career with Espanyol, his boyhood club and his last job was at PSG. He won only three trophies there and his time ended bitterly in the French capital. Let’s not judge him by his time at PSG because I don’t think it’s a proper club. Even Pep Guardiola will become a victim of toxicity there.


A common highlight of his time in Southampton and Spurs was his ability to promote young players. Under his tutelage, many young players went on to become great players: no name bigger than Harry Kane, Sadio Mane, and Heung Min-Son. There are other names such as Dele Alli, James Ward Prowse, Luke Shaw, Lucas Moura, Eric Dier, Kyle Walker, and Kieran Trippier.

What does Chelsea have at the moment?
A bunch of young players. I think Pochettino is the best candidate who can trim down the bloated squad and bring out the best. Pochettino is known for his high-pressing style with a preference for a 4–2–3–1 system while in possession and attack and 5–2–3 (or variations) while in defence. He’s going to give Chelsea an identity that has been missing since the sacking of Thomas Tuchel. His style of play is very demanding (more work rate) and the players require to run hard. I can see Mason Mount playing an important role in his system along with the full backs and pacy wingers.

To conclude, Pochettino is going to improve Chelsea’s situation and help its rebuild project massively.
