Mauricio Pochettino was appointed by Chelsea last May after a lengthy recruitment process; former Tottenham boss led the Blues to the Carabao Cup final and ended the season strongly to secure European football; he leaves after less than 12 months in charge at Stamford Bridge.
A statement released on Tuesday read: “Chelsea FC can confirm that the club and Mauricio Pochettino have mutually agreed to part ways.”
Assistant coaches Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino have also left.
Pochettino said: “Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and Sporting Directors for the opportunity to be part of this football club’s history. The club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”
