Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly put pen to paper on a three-year contract to take over as Chelsea manager this summer.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain boss is understood to have agreed personal terms with the Blues earlier this month, with a view to taking the reins over the summer.

Pochettino has now finally signed the contract to make the appointment official, with an announcement expected from the club shortly.

The Pochettino era is expected to begin as early as next week, with the Argentine signing a deal which will keep him at the club until June 2026.

The 51-year-old will succeed Frank Lampard in the Stamford Bridge dugout after Chelsea's all-time top scorer took interim charge until the end of the season following the sacking of Graham Potter.

Potter was also brought in this season after Todd Boehly and the Chelsea board made the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel, who had steered the club to Champions League glory a little over a year before.

Boehly also splashed the cash in his first two transfer windows as owner, with Chelsea spending more than £600m in summer and January combined.

However, the Blues have suffered their worst season in a generation and are guaranteed to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the first time since 1994-95.

Chelsea host Newcastle United on the final day of the season this afternoon sitting 12th in the table and knowing that their best possible finish is 11th place.

However, they could also still finish as low as 14th should results go against them, and that would be their lowest final position since 1993-94.

The Blues are expected to undergo a summer clearout, with the likes of Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech among the many players linked with exits as they look to trim their squad and adhere to Financial Fair Play rules following such significant outlay over the past year.

Pochettino has been out of work since being sacked by PSG at the end of the 2021-22 campaign, despite leading the French giants to the title that season.

The former Argentina international previously spent five-and-a-half years in charge of Chelsea's London rivals Tottenham, leading them to a Champions League final during his time at the club.

In total, Pochettino took charge of 293 games as Spurs boss, winning 159 of those and losing 72.

Prior to his time in North London, Pochettino arrived in the Premier League as Southampton boss, taking charge of 60 games over his 15-month spell at St Mary's. body check tags ::
