The Argentine departs one year into a two-year deal, having finished sixth in the Premier League after winning their final five games of the season.
His future was the subject of an internal end-of-season review with Chelsea sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, who will now search for the fourth full-time manager under the current ownership since their takeover in 2022.
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.”
