It’s been widely agreed in the media that Mauricio Pochettino, 51, will become Chelsea’s permanent manager this summer. Of course, Blues supporters are still patiently waiting for something official from the club.
The Guardian claimed earlier this month that Pochettino held extensive talks before finally agreeing to take charge at Stamford Bridge next season.

The 34-year-old admires Chelsea’s incoming manager and is optimistic about the team’s chances moving into next year.
“[Mauricio Pochettino] is a great manager. He did a great job while he was at Tottenham and he has everything to succeed. I think the team has quality players,” Willian told Stadium Astro.
