But Pochettino is leaving by mutual consent, according to a statement from the club, following conversations with the coowner Behdad Eghbali.
“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season,” Winstanley and Stewart said in a joint statement.
“He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career.”
