BREAKING: EPL: Pochettino leaves role as Chelsea manager

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has left the Premier League club by mutual consent, according to Sky Sports.

Pochettino only arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer and signed a two-year deal.

The former Tottenham and PSG boss, who led the Blues to sixth place, had enjoyed a strong end to the campaign.

However, it is believed he could not see eye-to-eye with the owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Pochettino is Chelsea’s sixth permanent manager in five years following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter last season, which led to Frank Lampard taking charge temporarily.
