Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be named as Chelsea manager ahead of next season and Gary Neville has explained why he believes the Argentine tactician will succeed at Chelsea.

“I think he is a really talented coach,” Gary Neville told Sky Sports.

“I think Chelsea next year could really surprise us. Pochettino will bring the club together because he will; he’s likeable, and the players will respect him enormously.

“I think he’ll do a very, very good job next season. He’ll cover a lot of the stuff that’s going on behind the scenes is my prediction.

“Those players are perfect for Pochettino; they are talented and young, but they just need direction.”
