Chelsea Pre-season 2023/24: Fixtures, Tours, Squad & how to watch
Three managers at the helm in Chelsea have fallen victim to Todd Boehly's enormous cash infusion. In the space of a year, the Blues have seen the likes of Thomas Tuchel, Frank Lampard, and Graham Potter change baton. Now, as sales of the squad that won their last UEFA Champions League Cup is ongoing, Mauricio Pochettino is ready to lead the ship of the West London Giants.
Chelsea had a highly unsuccessful Premier League season in 2022/23, finishing 12th with an underwhelming 44 points. Despite the club having a massive supply of money, Pochettino's challenge is enormous.
Nevertheless, as is the case for every new manager, pre-season is significant for Pochettino and hopes are high that things will click for the Argentine.
