Chelsea have officially announced the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager. The Argentine will start work at Stamford Bridge on July 1, on a two-year contract with an option to extend for another year.

Sky Sports and Goal both commented that “Mauricio Pochettino is the perfect fit for Chelsea”. The former Tottenham captain is believed to be able to revive The Blues after a disappointing 2022/2023 season.

“You look at the current situation at Chelsea, with the problems, the structure of the squad and the untapped potential. You look at the outstanding qualities of Mauricio Pochettino and what he has done in the past. You see the perfect symmetry. Chelsea appointing Mauricio Pochettino is a very sensible decision” – Sky Sports commentator Melissa Reddy commented.

Sky Sports analysis highlights that Chelsea have a quality squad after spending big in the last two transfer windows. However, the Blues need a clear identity and philosophy to develop their strengths. The inspiration of Mauricio Pochettino will breathe life into the team's style of play and take them in the right direction.

Meanwhile, Goal believes that Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino can unleash their terrifying power together because both are "wounded beasts". If Chelsea just had a terrible 2022/2023 season when they finished 12th in the Premier League, Mauricio Pochettino was harshly fired by PSG despite bringing home 3 titles.

Goal writer Krishan Davis also noted that Mauricio Pochettino is not the type of coach who stands out for his ability to bring immediate success. However, the Argentine is a suitable choice when Chelsea is looking for a long-term coach.

At his peak with Tottenham, coach Mauricio Pochettino also took the entire first season to make his mark and bring the team into a stable orbit. In terms of titles, Mauricio Pochettino personally had to wait until he led PSG in the 2021-2022 period to be crowned Ligue 1, the French Cup and the French Super Cup.

Goal page commented that setting the goal of winning the Premier League in 3 years would be a suitable vision for the combination between Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino.

Meanwhile, the Telegraph newspaper affirmed that Mauricio Pochettino is a choice that is popular with both Chelsea fans and players. His reputation and experience of achieving success at big clubs are also the differences between Mauricio Pochettino and his predecessor Graham Potter, although both are considered “gentle” coaches.

According to the plan, interim coach Frank Lampard will finish the remaining work of Chelsea until June 30. After that, coach Mauricio Pochettino will start preparing for the new season. The Daily Mail revealed that the new captain of The Blues has proposed that the board of directors recruit 1 more goalkeeper, 1 central midfielder and 1 striker in this summer transfer window./.
