Mauricio Pochettino is expected to bring his four-man backroom team to Chelsea as he is entering the final phase of negotiations with the club, according to reports.

According to rumors, Mauricio Pochettino is anticipated to bring his four-person backroom crew to Chelsea as he enters the final stages of discussions with the team.

Pochettino has recently emerged as the front-runner to take over as the permanent manager of Chelsea, and according to The Telegraph, an agreement is imminent.

According to the report, Pochettino is in final talks with Chelsea and will be permitted to bring at least four assistants.

The first name on the reported list is Pochettino’s number two and head of conditioning, Jesus Perez. He is said to play an influential role in Pochettino’s set-up and will be expected to work alongside Chelsea medical team going forward.

Then there are first-team coach Miguel D’Agostino, goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez, and Pochettino’s son, Sebastiano, who is a sports scientist.

There remains confusion about the status of Graham Potter’s former coaching staff at Chelsea, however.

Bruno Saltor, for example, who was in charge of Chelsea’s draw with Liverpool as an interim, is still listed on Chelsea’s staff list on the official website. This is also the case with assistant coach Bjorn Hamberg.

Although the futures of hiring expert Kyle Macaulay and goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts are still up in the air, according to The Telegraph, the two are reportedly likely to depart.

Ashley Cole, a fellow Chelsea veteran and member of Frank Lampard's staff, will probably leave the club after this season along with the interim manager.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Blues are OUT of the Champions League as the defending champions prove too strong with ruthless Rodrygo scoring twice to cruise into semi-finals

Frank Lampard has become the first Chelsea manager in the club's 118-year history to lose his first four games in charge. Lampard returned to Stamford Bridge on April 6 for a short-term spell until the end of the season following the dismissal of Graham Potter. However, matters certainly haven't gone to plan so far, and Lampard has now broken an unwanted record, as reported by The Mirror. Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Wolves in Lampard's first game of his second stint in charge and that was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Last weekend Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to Brighton in the league and then on Tuesday they were eliminated from the Champions League with another 2-0 gloss against Real Madrid. Following that, the Blues have fixtures against Arsenal, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle. It is the first time that Chelsea have lost four consecutive matches in all competiti...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season. The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place. The Senegal international has featured in only 11 games in all competitions having been hampered by in...
