Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf has explained why he prefers Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea boss to Julian Nagelsmann.

He said: “I love both Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino. Pochettino did a very good job at Tottenham, and Nagelsmann did a very good job at Leipzig.

“Are these coaches ready to handle the big pressure at a big club and from the fans? That’s my concern.

“I would rather go with Pochettino because there was real pressure from the fans at Tottenham.

“I don’t have a problem with the fact that Pochettino used to manage Tottenham. Jose Mourinho went to Spurs, so did Antonio Conte, so why is it an issue the other way around? I don’t have any problem with that.”
