Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino Part Ways After One Season
Chelsea FC has announced the departure of Mauricio Pochettino from his role as manager by mutual consent, marking the end of his tenure after just one season. Despite a late-season revival that saw the team's fortunes improve, the Argentine coach will no longer lead the Premier League side.
Pochettino took over Chelsea ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, replacing interim manager Frank Lampard as the club's new owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, sought to inject new energy into the team following a 12th-place finish in the previous season.
The new ownership made a significant impact during the close season transfer window, spending over 400 million pounds ($508.28 million) on new signings, setting high expectations for the upcoming season. However, despite the recent signs of progress, the decision was made to part ways with Pochettino, signaling a new direction for Chelsea as they continue to build towards future success.
