Chelsea FC lack character, identity and culture – is Mauricio Pochettino the right fit?
The warm-hearted Pochettino would, in theory, be a great manager for a club seeking a cultural shift and more unity.

His solution was to tap into the club’s very soul by promoting young players who cared about Spurs ā the likes of Harry Kane and Ryan Mason ā and ostracising overpaid mercenaries such as Emmanuel Adebayor.
