Pochettino Freed Up for England Job After Settling Chelsea Payoff

Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly reached a compensation agreement with Chelsea following his departure from the club earlier this summer.

The £10 million settlement, as reported by the UK Sun, paves the way for Pochettino to pursue new managerial opportunities.

Pochettino’s sacking by the Blues after a sixth-place finish in the 2023/24 season raised eyebrows, particularly considering the team’s strong showing with only three losses throughout the year. He also reportedly enjoyed a positive relationship with the Chelsea squad.

With the England national team manager position a potential vacancy depending on Gareth Southgate’s future, Pochettino has emerged as a possible successor.

However, there are currently no open managerial positions at the top Premier League clubs.
