00:00Maurizio Pochettino has departed Chelsea by mutual consent just two days after the conclusion
00:07of the Premier League season. Pochettino, who had previously managed Southampton, Tottenham
00:12Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain, guided Chelsea to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League,
00:18meaning the Blues will likely play in the Europa League next season should Manchester
00:22City win the FA Cup. Under owner Todd Bowley, Chelsea have had five men in charge and will
00:29soon have to appoint a sixth in what has been a turbulent period in the club's recent
00:34history. Pochettino seemed to have got things to click towards the end of this campaign
00:39as he inspired an impressive run of form that cumulated in the sixth-place finish. There
00:45is now a lack of stability at Chelsea once again, just as they were threatening to return
00:49to a steady path under the Argentinian manager. It now remains to be seen as to whether this
00:55move will be a step backwards for the club.
