Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is on the verge of being appointed as the new manager of Chelsea, according to The Telegraph.
Large sections of the Tottenham Hotspur fanbase have sung the name of their favourite son from the stands both at home and away in recent weeks following the dismissal of Antonio Conte.
Journalist Guillem Balague revealed on Twitter earlier this evening that Tottenham have at no stage made direct contact with Pochettino to return to north London and are instead looking for a less experienced manager.
Pochettino’s backroom staff, who previously supported him at Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are also expected to join him at Stamford Bridge which comprises of assistant manager and head of conditioning Jesus Perez, first-team coach Miguel D’Agostino, goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez and his son Sebastiano, a sports scientist.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy decided earlier today to part company with acting head coach Cristian Stellini following the 6-1 drubbing at Newcastle United and has appointed Ryan Mason for the remaining six matches of the season.
