Exclusive names the 3 players which caused the argument which led to Pochettino departure

Our writer Simon Phillips’ exclusive this morning is jam packed full of sourced information about the departure of Mauricio Pochettino from Chelsea.

Gradually we’re piecing together the story bit by bit, and there are some interesting details coming out now.

The initially mystifying decision to get rid of him seems to be down to a disagreement in terms of the overall strategy. Phillips points out that there were “big disagreements” about the departures of certain players.

He names three – Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella. Pochettino wanted to keep them all, while the club insist they have to go. Given that fundamental gap on what direction they should be going in, and given the gap would only widen, splitting was the only thing that made sense.

Conor Gallagher remains reluctant to leave Chelsea. He is also cautious about rushing a move through before the Euros. Trevoh Chalobah is also in no rush to leave.

Chelsea have intensified their search for Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement by making checks on Leicester’s Enzo Maresca, but candidates for the job believe that Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna is the favourite to take over at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are adamant they don’t want a ‘yes man’, but a coach to work with them, taking advice on board from the data, recruitment and medical teams.

Breaking: Chelsea have narrowed down their managerial search to four candidates - Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank and an unnamed candidate all making the club’s shortlist. Chelsea have dropped interest in Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeness and Girona’s Michel. All three - Enzo Maresca, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank - managers would be interested in the prospect of moving to Chelsea.
