Mauricio Pochettino LEAVES Chelsea LIVE: Latest updates and news after Blues confirm the Argentine has left the club by mutual consent - after ONE year in charge

It's no secret that Chelsea struggled in the opening stages of the season under Pochettino.

The Blues picked up just one win from their first six Premier League games and were subjected to mid-table obscurity for most the campaign.

However, in recent weeks, Chelsea have looked rather good under the Argentine and had really started to click on the pitch.

The Blues went undefeated in their final six games of the season - winning five of those matches.

Their impressive end-of-season form resulted in the west London giants sneaking into a Europa League spot - which many thought would not be possible earlier in the campaign.
