LONDON : As the dust settles on another Premier League season, most managers will be switching off for a few weeks of relaxation before planning for the next campaign. But for new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino the work starts immediately.
They have sanctioned around 600 million pounds worth of spending to super-size a squad that has proved far less than the sum of its very expensive parts. No blame will be attached to Lampard, but for American Boehly, the appointment of the man known in the British media as"Poch" simply has to work. Pochettino was widely praised for his work at Tottenham where he revived a similarly under-performing club and turned them into title contenders and Champions League finalists, although he left without winning any silverware.
Central midfield dynamo N'Golo Kante is no longer the force he was, while Mason Mount is reportedly close to leaving the club despite supporters wanting him to stay.
