Pochettino Leaves Chelsea By Mutual Consent
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has left the club by mutual consent after one season at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino, 52, took charge of Chelsea on 1 July, signing a two-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
The Argentine was under pressure after an underwhelming first half of the season but a run of five successive wins to end the season ensured they finished sixth in the Premier League.
Chelsea were also runners-up in the Carabao Cup and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
“Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and sporting directors for the opportunity,” Pochettino said.
“The club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”
Chelsea will now search for a successor and have expressed recent interest in Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna, Sporting’s Ruben Amorim and Burnley’s Vincent Kompany.
