Chelsea are prepared to rival Brighton for the appointment of Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna after parting company with Mauricio Pochettino
for the appointment of Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna after reaching an agreement to part company with Mauricio Pochettino by mutual consent.
Chelsea have attempted to work in a “collaborative” way since being bought by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital two years ago and they will look for a young, progressive coach willing to buy into their way of working. Other names under consideration include Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Girona’s Míchel and Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness. Vincent Kompany has been described as a dark horse despite Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League. There are concerns that Sporting Lisbon’s Rúben Amorim does not fit the squad’s tactical profile, and interest in De Zerbi has cooled.
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.”Pochettino’s backroom staff members Jesús Pérez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jiménez and Sebastiano Pochettino have also left.
