Mauricio Pochettino’s wife shared! Countdown to Chelsea…

Mauricio Pochettino’s wife announced on social media that she was in London while the Argentine manager was expected to join Chelsea. Pochettino, 51, has been an independent manager since his departure from Paris Saint-Germain in July 2022 and is considered the heavy favorite for his version of Stamford Bridge.

↑ The ‘Blues’ sacked Thomas Tuchel in September and his replacement Graham Potter in April, and Frank Lampard is currently in charge of the team until the end of the season. According to news from The Athletic, the long search for a coach that began after Potter was sacked in April will finally come to an end this weekend.

Ahead of the long-awaited announcement, Pochettino’s wife Karina shared a picture of the plane on her Instagram page and shared a cloud emoji captioned “London.”

LAMPARD UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON

The Athletic says the “extensive search” by sports directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart will end in the near future. Furthermore, it is stated that, under pressure, caretaker manager Frank Lampard will remain with the team until the end of the season, even if a long-term replacement is decided.

Club legend Lampard was reinstated in an interim role after serving 18 months between 2019 and 2021, and after losing his first six games some are beginning to question his ability to hold the job until the end of the season. But with goals from Conor Gallagher, Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix, Chelsea beat Bournemouth 3-1 on Saturday, ending their terrible nine-game winless run.

It now looks as though the Blues will lead their last four league games before their next successor arrives.

THE ADVENTURES OF POCHETTINO IN PSG AND TOTTENHAM

It is also said that Stewart will play an active role in the collaboration with Winstanley and the new manager.

Pochettino spent a full season in Paris and won Ligue 1, but was unsuccessful in the Champions League. The Argentine coach played for Tottenham from 2014 to 2019 and did not win any trophy.

In the next game, Chelsea will face Nottingham Forest on Saturday, who have performed poorly, and will continue to search for a top spot.
