Mauricio Pochettino has three 'difficult' Chelsea demands for Todd Boehly as key talks are held.
Mauricio Pochettino has set out three key demands that Todd Boehly, the American billionaire leading the takeover bid for Chelsea, must fulfil if he is to take over as the club’s new manager. The Argentine understands that the game has changed since he took over at Tottenham almost 10 years ago, when he was the new kid on the block, treated with caution but excitement. Before he arrived, Spurs had finished in the top four just twice in the Premier League, but during his tenure they qualified for the Champions League for four consecutive years and finished in the top three on three occasions.
In his first two years, Pochettino achieved little immediate improvement, with Spurs winning the same number of games in his first season but conceding more goals and finishing three points worse off. However, he was able to work a miracle on a shoestring budget, utilising net profits and young players to achieve great results. Chelsea, on the other hand, won the league three times during this period and had superior financial resources.
The article questions whether Pochettino was too weak or lacked the necessary winning instinct, or whether he had simply reached the end of his tenure. Success has different forms, and while Chelsea have enjoyed pure success for nearly two decades, they are now looking to embrace new methods and coaching styles.
Pochettino appears to be a mixture of the gradual improvement approach of Graham Potter and the cut-throat tactics of Jose Mourinho. His demands reportedly include control over transfers and the academy, an emphasis on youth development, and patience and time to build a winning team. If these demands are met, Pochettino could bring a new style of coaching to Stamford Bridge and lead the club to success..
