The Premier League side Chelsea reportedly settled on Mauricio Pochettino as the club’s new manager. According to multiple reports, Pochettino accepted Chelsea’s offer and will take over after the 2022-23 season ends.

Chelsea still hasn’t made the hiring official. The club will wait until Pochettino arrives in London at some point this week to announce the news. The Argentinean is expected to sign a deal until 2026.

Pochettino was out of a job since being fired by Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the 2021-22 campaign. He previously also coached Chelsea’s rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League side Southampton, and La Liga club Espanyol. 

Chelsea started the 2022-23 season with Thomas Tuchel at the helm but replaced the UEFA Champions League-winning manager just two months into the campaign. The club plucked Graham Potter away from Brighton to replace Tuchel, seeing him as a perfect candidate for their long-term project. However, the plan didn’t exactly work out for the Blues.

Potter lasted only seven months on the job, having lost 11 out of his 31 games in charge. Chelsea ended up replacing him with club legend Frank Lampard on an interim basis as they looked for a new manager.

The London club took a different approach this time, casting a wide net and interviewing a number of well-respected candidates. While their shortlist included the likes of Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann, Chelsea’s brass ended up deciding that Pochettino was the man who would bring the glory back to Stamford Bridge. We’ll have to wait until the next season starts in order to find out whether this is the case.

Paris Saint-Germain isn’t dominating Ligue 1 this season, and manager Thomas Tuchel will be the one to pay the price. According to ESPN, PSG informed Tuchel that his services are no longer needed on Thursday.

However, the managerial vacancy on the French team won’t be open for too long with the club reportedly already agreeing to terms with former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino. The two sides have been reportedly negotiating for the past two weeks.

Tuchel was on the hot seat last season but was granted more time after PSG’s good performances in Europe that saw them reach UEFA Champions League Finals for the first time in club history. However, the club’s struggles in 2020-21 prompted the Paris front office to make a change.

PSG is currently third in the domestic competition, having uncharacteristically lost four games early in the season. They managed to make it to the UCL knockout stage but needed a late surge and help from other clubs to do so.

According to reports, Tuchel also has a bad relationship with sporting director Leonardo, which speeded up the process of his firing.

PSG now hopes that Mauricio Pochettino can take the club to the next level and get them the elusive Champions League trophy the club so desperately wants. It may help that Pochettino has a history with the club, having played there between 2001 and 2003.

Pochettino was unemployed since November 2019, having been fired by Tottenham after a series of bad results in the Premier League. He spent five and a half years with the Spurs, leading the club to a UEFA Champions League Finals in 2018-19.

Before Barcelona settled on Ronald Koeman as their new head coach, numerous reports indicated that the Catalan giant offered the job to former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino first. But, according to Pochettino, there is no truth in these rumors.

In a recent interview with Marca, Pochettino discussed the links with Barcelona and said that he never even met with the club.

“They didn’t offer me to coach Barca,” said . “I didn’t see myself with [president Josep Maria] Bartomeu.”

The original reports said that Pochettino strongly considered taking over, but ended up backing out as he believed the club is surrounded by too many controversies and drama. Also, he wasn’t sure about the reception he would receive from the club’s fans, considering that he coached their cross-town rivals Espanyol in the past.

Barca ultimately decided to hire Koeman, while Pochettino is still looking for the right offer after turning down Benfica and Monaco.

“I did have a call from Benfica and Monaco. I have no need to lie,” he added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Pochettino also discussed the offer from Real Madrid he received in 2018. He turned Los Blancos at the time to stay with Tottenham, but admits that this remains his “dream” job.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever coach Madrid, but of course, it’s my dream,” said Pochettino.

Tottenham Hotspur’s highly-rated manager Mauricio Pochettino has been heavily linked with several jobs recently, including being Massimiliano Allegri’s successor at the helm of Seria A giants Juventus.

Still, we will have to wait until Tottenham plays the UEFA Champions League final match against Liverpool to learn if Pochettino considers a change of scenery.

During a press conference on Monday, Pochettino told reporters that he doesn’t want to discuss his future until after the clash with Liverpool on Saturday.

“Today, no one is more important than the game ahead,” – said Pochettino. “We can make history, we can provide our fans and our people the best happiness in football that you can provide and I think today to talk about individual things would be embarrassing and a shame.”

The 47-year-old Argentinian added that his team is more important than him at this moment.

“I am not important. I am not more important than the Champions League and the possibility to win a trophy,” – he explained. “Of course rumor is rumor and of course you are going to ask me about me, but today the focus is 200 percent on the final. After the final, we will have time to talk but today my commitment is about Tottenham.”

Mauricio Pochettino was targeted by several big European clubs in the past, but each time, he chose to stay in London and try to make a good result with Tottenham. Still, he indicated earlier this year that he is second-guessing his decision, and will consider remaining with the Hotspurs if he is given funds to build a contender and challenge Manchester City for supremacy in Premier League.

Mauricio Pochettino joined Tottenham in 2014 and managed to lead the team to four consecutive Top-4 finishes in Premier League since then. His biggest achievement in the national competition is being runner-up in 2016/17.
