According to reports, Chelsea will soon choose Mauricio Pochettino as their manager.
The former Tottenham manager and the Blues have reached a contract agreement, according to reports in various media outlets on Saturday night.
At the conclusion of the season, the 51-year-old Argentinean would succeed Frank Lampard, who was serving as interim manager.
The club has not provided a confirmation. Chelsea has been contacted by the PA news agency.
Graham Potter was fired by Chelsea in April after just seven months of his five-year contract due to a run of poor performance, and the club is now looking for a new full-time manager.
Lampard, who previously managed the club from 2019-21, was brought in on a temporary basis but the team’s struggles have continued and they sit 11th in the Premier League.
Pochettino, who led Tottenham to the Champions League final in 2019 before being sacked later that year, is available after leaving Paris St Germain last summer.
