Chelsea have parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino by mutual consent after the London club conducted their end-of-season review on Monday.
According to The Telegraph, the Argentine coach met with the Blues’ sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart over the last two days and it was decided by all involved that it is best to move on ahead of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea will now look to replace the former Tottenham boss with a young coach.
The Telegraph states that Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness, Girona’s Michel, Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, who has been lined up by Brighton, and Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca are all on the Premier League giants’ list of targets.
All have had brilliant seasons at their respective clubs and their work could now see them land one of the biggest jobs in English and European football.
