Mauricio Pochettino has left Chelsea by mutual consent.
The Argentine agreed to his departure with Chelsea on Tuesday morning, following the club’s end-of-season review that started on Monday.
The decision was made after Pochettino’s meeting with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali over the course of two days.
A run of five successive wins at the end of this season clinched European qualification for Chelsea under Pochettino, who also took the club to the final of the Carabao Cup and the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Pochettino leaves Chelsea after one year of the two-year contract he signed last summer and is in line to pocket a significant compensation fee.
