Pochettino has been out of work since being sacked by PSG last summer and many thought his work in Paris did damage to his reputation. However, the Argentine coach has now landed another big role in West London and has a big task on his hands with the Blues.
The Chelsea job gives Pochettino the perfect chance to show how good a coach he is as a lot of work needs to be done at Stamford Bridge and with no European football at the club next season, this will give the Argentine coach every opportunity to implement his ideas.
