Ex-CHELSEA striker Chris Sutton believes Mauricio Pochettino can be the man to guide the Blues back up the table again, providing Todd Boehly lets him.

The Argentine had been Spurs manager for five years and had managed to turn the club’s fortunes around, culminating in the club reaching the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Poch became renowned for the attractive style of football he brought to Tottenham, with the likes of Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli flourishing under his leadership.

But try as he might, he could not bring a trophy home during his tenure. Spurs lost the European final in 2019 along with the League Cup final to Chelsea in 2015.

He then was given the chance to take over at PSG and manage some of the biggest names in world football, he won multiple titles with Paris Saint-Germain, including the Coupe de France, Trophee des Champions and Coupe de la Ligue.

And reports have claimed Pochettino is in final negotiations with CHELSEA to become the club’s permanent head coach with the Argentine set to be followed into Stamford Bridge with his four-man brains trust, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Sutton told the BBC: “I think it would make sense for Chelsea to go for Pochettino. The one question I’d be asking Boehly, if I was Pochettino, would be if he is staying out of the dressing room.

“Pochettino would want control and would not want that. Boehly has been too hands-on and if Pochettino goes in he wants it is his way. Chelsea is an attractive proposition.”
