Mauricio Pochettino has broken his silence since departing from Chelsea two weeks ago, revealing on social media that he will be making a return to Stamford Bridge in the near future.
Despite a challenging start, the Argentine guided Chelsea back into European competition during his inaugural season. However, he and the club parted ways by mutual agreement in May.
Chelsea has since appointed Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, a decision officially announced on Monday. Pochettino’s departure came as a surprise to many, considering his strong bond with the squad and a commendable sixth-place finish with only three losses in 2024.
