IAN LADYMAN: Chelsea are lucky to have Mauricio Pochettino arriving this summer
Daily MailThere is something of the football obsessive about Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea will be lucky to have a manager of Mauricio Pochettino's elite calibre Frank Lampard has struggled in his short tenure at the club, and has left the former Tottenham boss with a tricky turnaround job And so, via Frank Lampard’s vaguely embarrassing short tenure, we have arrived at Episode Two. The good news is that Pochettino will find some very good footballers waiting for him at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground. Of all the baffling things that have taken place since Boehly’s Blue Partners Limited took Chelsea off the hands of Roman Abramovich in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the manner in which the club has stockpiled expensive footballers seemingly without strategy has perhaps been most baffling. Of all the baffling moments scattered through the club’s recent history, none remains as vexing as the decision to sign a centre forward like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on September 2 last year and then appoint a manager like Potter six days later.
