The Italian will start his new position on July 1, according to a statement from Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino, who departed the team last month after just one season, is replaced by the 44-year-old.
The West London team improved significantly from its 12th-place performance in the 2022–2023 season to reach sixth and secure European football under Argentine Pochettino's leadership.
