The Chelsea team is happy to have Mauricio Pochettino as their new coach at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine’s appointment as Graham Potter’s long-term successor will be made public at some point in the future.

The team thought the club’s administration had made the correct choice as they eagerly awaited the former Tottenham manager’s impending arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino has agreed to take over as Chelsea’s next permanent manager, becoming the club’s sixth permanent manager in the last five years.

The 51-year-old has previously led Tottenham to the Champions League final while leading the north London club, but he has been unemployed since leaving PSG last summer.

Pochettino will replace Frank Lampard, whose interim job will come to an end at the end of the season.

Ex-Spurs boss Pochettino is one of the most highly-rated managers in Europe but has a huge job on his hands at Stamford Bridge.

CBS Sports reports that Chelsea’s squad is optimistic that the Argentine is the right man to take the team forward. The players believed he is not only a shrewd appointment but a safe choice.
