Mauricio Pochettino: 7 things you need to know about new Chelsea manager
Chelsea have announced the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager after the sacking of Graham Potter in March.
Potter remains high on the list of possible replacements, as other managers could be heavily involved in their clubs’ projects by the time the need for change comes, while the former Chelsea boss also gets props for being an English candidate.
Southgate’s tenure has seen England reach the semifinals of the World Cup, as well as the final of the Euros, after they had failed to progress beyond the quarterfinal of either this century, and despite heavy criticism during his tenure, he will be a tough act to follow for any future Three Lions’ boss.
