Chelsea’s squad, although enduring a disappointing season that has seen them slide to 11th place in the Premier League, have expressed optimism about Pochettino’s appointment.

They believe that he not only brings a wealth of experience but also represents a safe and astute choice for the club’s future, as reported by CBS Sports.

With a bloated squad at Stamford Bridge, Pochettino will need to trim the ranks and is also keen on bringing in new signings this summer. His focus will be on recruiting players with Premier League experience, as he aims to strengthen the team.

Pochettino’s arrival will mark the third permanent managerial appointment under the ownership of Todd Boehly, who took over the club last year.

Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy, speaking on Sky Sports, expressed his delight at the news, stating, “It’s about time! This has been in the pipeline for some time.

In the last three weeks, I’ve heard the deal has been done. They’ve obviously been going through all the little bits and pieces that these contracts take. I’m delighted with the news.”

In their recent match against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea secured a 2-2 draw. Looking ahead, their next challenge awaits as they face Premier League leaders Manchester City next weekend.

Reflecting on the Nottingham Forest match, caretaker manager Frank Lampard commented on the team’s performance, saying, “The second half was ours, and we had control of the game in terms of possession.

However, in the first half, we lacked dynamism in the final third. We need to start stronger to avoid losing half of the game. We showed improvement in the second half with our scoring opportunities and movements, but we must do more to secure a victory.”

As the season nears its conclusion, Chelsea’s squad eagerly anticipates the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino and the fresh perspective he will bring to guide them back to success.

With his track record and the support of the players, Chelsea fans are hopeful that Pochettino can lead the team to a brighter future.
