The club have now confirmed they have parted ways with Pochettino by mutual consent.
Statement:
Chelsea FC can confirm that the Club and Mauricio Pochettino have mutually agreed to part ways.
Sporting Directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said: 'On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season. He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career.'
Jesus Perez, Miguel d'Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino have left the club with Mauricio.
The Club will be making no further comment until such time as a new Head Coach is appointed.
The Argentine was appointed manager at the Blues before the start of the 2023/2024 season, but has now decided to part way with the club.
The reports have added that the decision was made after an internal review of the recent season, where they finished outside of the UEFA Champions League places.
