Known for taking young talent to the next level, Pochettino would take over a Chelsea squad with plenty of it.
The Blues have added myriad u-23 aged players to their first team in recent seasons, including:
Benoit Badiashile (22)
Wesley Fofana (22)
Enzo Fernandez (22)
Mykhailo Mudryk (22)
Noni Madueke (21)
David Datro Fofana (20)
Joao Felix (loan, 23)
Pochettino would take the job after Graham Potter was fired and Lampard named interim boss. The club struggled under both as Pochettino, Luis Enrique, Marco Silva, and Julian Nagelsmann had been linked with the gig.
Let go by Tottenham after a tremendous run that included a Champions League Final appearance, Pochettino had a brief spell in charge of Paris Saint-Germain before being replaced by Christoph Galtier.
