Chelsea have appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, the club has confirmed.
The former Tottenham manager will join the club in the summer, replacing Frank Lampard, who was sacked in January.
Pochettino has been out of work since being sacked by Tottenham in November 2019. He has been linked with a number of jobs since then, including Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Chelsea are understood to have paid Tottenham a compensation fee of around £12m to secure Pochettino's services.
Pochettino is a popular figure among Chelsea fans, and his appointment has been met with widespread approval.
The Argentine manager is known for his attacking style of play, and he is expected to bring a new lease of life to Chelsea after a disappointing season under Lampard.
Pochettino will be tasked with leading Chelsea back into the Champions League and challenging for major trophies.
