Chelsea look set to appoint former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager.
We have been hearing about positive talks between Chelsea and Pochettino over the last couple of days now, and it is starting to look like a matter of when and not if Pochettino will become the next permanent Chelsea manager.

The question everyone is asking is when that will happen, and it is a question that has been put to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano as part of his latest exclusive CaughtOffside column.
It looks like Chelsea have had final talks with Pochettino to conclude the deal for the last couple of days, which means it’s edging ever closer.
And Romano admits that he does not know when Chelsea will announce it, but he assures that once again, it is very close and in the very final stages of completion now.
“I can’t predict the timing on the Mauricio Pochettino deal being finalised, this depends on Chelsea, but it’s really close now,” Romano said.
“The conversation is progressing very well and it’s at final stages, so really close.”
I’m sure we will hear a conclusion very soon.
