The English side Chelsea signed Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino to help the team recover from a horrible season in which the London giants ended in the bottom half of the table and lost out on European competitions.
Pochettino, who has Premier League experience at the helm of clubs such as Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, will attempt to pump new life into the Blues, who need to get back to winning following an awful season.
“For me, it is a pleasure and honour to be involved with Chelsea, I am very excited,” the 51-year-old began. The former PSG boss stated that his first priority was to bring happiness back to the club, which had suffered terrible defeats in the previous season.
The Argentine said, “What we want is to bring back the happiness to this great football club.”. He added, “It was easy to say yes to Chelsea. We’ll work hard, play in a way the fans can enjoy football. “

Pochettino also said, “The history of Chelsea is to win and be at the top. We can’t have up and downs. He added, “But it is also important how we build up to those victories.”
But his statement that Chelsea was the “greatest” team in England would have most hurt his former team Tottenham fans.
“In the last 10, 12, 15 years, Chelsea is the greatest team in England,” he said, much to the anger of the Lillywhites fans, with whom he reached the UEFA Champions League final before losing to Liverpool.
