Tim Sherwood has said that Chelsea should hire Mauricio Pochettino, who has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Tottenham manager has said on Sky Sports that Pochettino, another ex-Spurs boss, is the one for Chelsea.
According to The Guardian, the 51-year-old is the leading candidate to take over at Chelsea.
Pochettino has already reportedly held talks with Chelsea over taking over the first team at the end of the season.
The Times have reported that the 51-year-old is among the managers Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is looking at.
Former Tottenham forward and talkSPORT presenter Alan Brazil has said on talkSPORT (6:24am, April 21, 2023) that Pochettino “wants to go back to Tottenham”.

HITC Verdict: Chelsea over Spurs for Pochettino
In our view, Mauricio Pochettino is more likely to go to Chelsea than to Tottenham Hotspur if he can reach an agreement with the Blues.
Yes, Spurs are a big club and Pochettino was hugely successful during his time at the North London club, but Chelsea challenge for major trophies and win them as well.
Having managed Paris Saint-Germain, Pochettino will be keen on taking charge of another elite club who compete for league titles and for the UEFA Champions League.
