Breaking: Pochettino parts ways with Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino has left Chelsea by mutual consent after just a season in charge.

Pochettino agreed to his departure with Chelsea late on Tuesday following the club’s end-of-season review that started on Monday, according to the Telegraph.

Recall Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League in what was an improvement from the previous year.

However, all season long, there have been uncertainty around Pochettino’s future after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine’s departure means that he spent one year of the two-year contract he signed last summer and is in line to pocket a significant compensation fee.

Among the names likely to be considered as his replacement include Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, who has been lined up by Brighton, and Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca
