EPL: Chelsea board decide Chelsea manager for next game after 3-1 defeat to Arsenal

According to a report on Daily Mail, some key figures at Chelsea want Mauricio Pochettino to take over at Chelsea immediately as it would give him a running start to his first full season at the helm

However, it is expected Frank Lampard will remain as interim manager until the end of the season despite losing all six games that he has been in charge.

The report on Daily Mail: “All the initial indications are that Frank Lampard will see out the season at Chelsea before making way for Mauricio Pochettino to take the reins ahead of pre-season.

“There’s logic to that. Chelsea want to show Lampard the respect his legacy deserves, while Pochettino may feel like he’s on a hiding to nothing by taking charge of a team so short on confidence for the final four games.

“Who could blame the Argentine after watching his future side produce such a feeble first 45 minutes.

“But there are some at Stamford Bridge who believe the team would benefit from Pochettino taking over before the season ends. Not to salvage anything from the season, because there is nothing to salvage.

“But because it would give him a running start to his first full season at the helm…that is, of course, he doesn’t run a mile after this!”
