Chelsea's top managerial target Mauricio Pochettino announced as he gets set to begin new role
Ex-Tottenham boss and Chelsea’s managerial target, Mauricio Pochettino, has finally been announced in a new coaching role, but it will not be at the Blues.
Pochettino to coach Soccer Aid legends team in charity game
The Argentine manager has accepted to be the coach of the Soccer Aid World XI FC in their upcoming charity match that will see them take on an English XI comprising former Three Lions and Lioness players, as well as celebrities and influencers.
Pochettino will take charge of the Soccer Aid team that will feature players like former Argentine goal-machines Gabriel Batistuta and Hernan Crespo, as well as former UEFA Champions League winner with Manchester United, Nani.
Former Olympic champion Usain Bolt will also be in the squad for the match, as will comedian Lee Mack.
Pochettino still awaiting Chelsea confirmation
The match will take place at Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium on the 11th of June, 2023 with both sides looking to raise money for the Soccer Aid charity.
Pochettino could be set to visit Old Trafford in a more hostile environment soon as he remains the prime candidate to take over the reins at Chelsea after the departure of Graham Potter as permanent manager.
There have been reports of ongoing talks between the Argentine manager and Chelsea, who are looking to bring him in at the end of the current campaign.
It is believed that the ex-Paris Saint-Germain manager has all but put pen to paper on a Chelsea deal, but an official confirmation is still yet to come from either party.
