Mauricio Pochettino has left his position as Chelsea head coach by mutual consent after less than 11 months in charge, APA reports citing New York Times.
Chelsea’s decision to part ways with the 52-year-old Argentine comes following the conclusion of an internal review into the club’s 2023-24 season performance led by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-1 on the final day of the season in what proved to be Pochettino’s final game in charge to secure a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League and ensure that European football will return to Stamford Bridge for the 2024-25 campaign.
Pochettino became Chelsea’s sixth permanent manager in five years following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter last season, which led to Frank Lampard taking charge on a temporary basis.
Chelsea spent over £400million ($507m) ahead of Pochettino’s debut season in charge in a summer of squad overhaul.
