Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has exited the Premier League club by mutual agreement, as reported by Sky Sports.
Pochettino, who joined Chelsea last summer on a two-year contract, is parting ways with the club after leading them to a sixth-place finish in the league. Despite a strong end to the season, disagreements with the club’s owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, reportedly led to his departure.
His tenure at Chelsea was brief, continuing a trend of managerial changes at the club. Pochettino becomes Chelsea’s sixth permanent manager in five years, following the departures of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter last season, which saw Frank Lampard step in temporarily.
