The Chelsea manager is leaving the Premier League club after just one season

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has left the club two days after his first season at Stamford Bridge.

Former Southampton, Tottenham and Paris St-Germain boss Pochettino was expected to significantly boost Chelsea's fortunes, taking over the club's most expensive 12th-placed finish in 2022/23, the club's lowest-ever finish in the Premier League.

But the Argentine has found himself under increasing pressure as the six-time champions have spent most of the season in midtable, although a run of four consecutive victories has lifted them to sixth place.

After three defeats and only one win in the first six league games – a win over Luton Town, which was relegated – Chelsea won only two in a row in the Premier League between October and April.

A 4-1 drubbing by Liverpool followed by a 4-2 home defeat to Wolves has increased the scrutiny of Pochettino, who has responded by looking at just one defeat in Chelsea's last 15 league games.

The 52-year-old was signed in July on a two-year deal after a turbulent campaign for the club in which Graham Potter and Frank Lampard oversaw poor results during Thomas Tuchel's short tenure.
