Mauricio Pochettino is anticipated to take over at Chelsea when they decide on their next managerial choice, which is apparently scheduled to be made this week.
Since terminating Graham Potter’s 31-game reign at Stamford Bridge on April 3, the Blues have been without a permanent manager.
At that point, club legend Frank Lampard made a temporary return to west London.
After six straight losses, Lampard eventually managed to win his first game as Chelsea’s manager during his second stint.
Lampard will continue in that role for the club’s last four games of the 2022–23 season.
The Blues’ search for a new manager is about to come to an end, according to sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, British Newspaper, The Athletic reports.
Pochettino, the former manager of Southampton and Tottenham, is set to return back to management after being fired by Paris Saint-Germain 12 months ago.
During his last time in England, he led Tottenham to the Champions League final.
He also won the Ligue 1 title while working with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe at PSG.
