After a disappointing season, closed in 12th place in the Premier League, Chelsea has made the new coach official. Mauricio Pochettino will sit on the bench of the Blues, with the difficult mission of rebuilding the team.
The Argentine, who previously managed Tottenham, has signed a two-year deal with the London club, with the option to add a third year to the contract depending on results.
Pochettino starts work on July 1 and will take with him his staff, Jesus Perez, Miguel d'Agostino, goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez and his son Sebastiano Pochettino, in the role of athletic trainer.
He must rebuild the squad after a staggering spending spree last year, which saw the club shell out a whopping £600million.
In addition to Tottenham, Pochettino has also managed Paris SG, Southampton and Espanyol.
Thus, the striker of the National Team, Armando Broja, will play under the direction of the Argentine, always if he will be at "Stamford Bridge" next season.
Sporting Lisbon is interested in the Albanian star, who are looking for him on loan, but it remains to be seen how things will change after the appointment of Pochettino.
After a very good experience at Southampton last season, the 21-year-old stayed at Stamford Bridge, but his adventure was unfortunate. In December, he suffered a serious knee injury, missing the remaining half of the season.
