English giant Chelsea has been looking for a new club boss following a turbulent season that has seen Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter sacked. While club legend Frank Lampard was appointed as the caretaker manager until the end of the season, he is set to continue in the same. In the meantime, the club has ended its search for a new head coach.

According to trusted reports, The Blues have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as the new club boss, who will take charge in the upcoming season. However, he would immediately begin working with the club regarding transfer strategies. Also, he would be bringing in his team of assistant coaches to work alongside him at Stamford Bridge.

It would be the Argentinian's third managerial stint in England, having guided Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur before. His last stint was with French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which was successful with domestic success. It would be his fifth club as a boss, having started his career with Espanyol.
