Mauricio Pochettino has left Chelsea by mutual consent. He departs the club after less than a year in charge, having arrived with a two-year deal last summer. Joining him are Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez, and Sebastiano Pochettino, who have also left the club. The decision to part ways comes after a season of uncertainty surrounding the Argentine coach’s position, with the team initially struggling in mid-table before a turnaround in fortunes from February.

Pochettino agreed to his departure following a meeting with sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, and co-owner Behdad Eghbali. In a statement, Stewart and Winstanley expressed gratitude to Pochettino for his service and emphasized that the club is well-positioned to move forward in the Premier League and Europe. Prior to his departure, Pochettino had hinted that the decision about his future would not solely lie with the club, emphasizing the importance of mutual satisfaction for all parties involved in the coaching staff. It is also worth noting that the original text contains an unrelated paragraph about community perks and privacy policies.

I haven’t included that in the re-write.
