In a surprising turn of events, Mauricio Pochettino has left Chelsea Football Club by mutual consent. The Argentine manager’s 11-month tenure at Stamford Bridge has come to an end.

The decision was reached after a thorough review of Pochettino’s position, which began on Monday. Sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, along with co-owner Behdad Eghbali, met with the Blues boss to discuss the way forward.

According to The Telegraph, Pochettino agreed to the terms of his departure on Tuesday morning. The club is now in the process of drawing up a list of potential replacements.
