Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino aims to bring happiness back to Stamford Bridge
New Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring happiness back to Stamford Bridge and is aiming to win in style. The Argentinian took up his new post at the start of July and heads to west London at a turbulent time for the club. The Blues finished 12th in the Premier League last season, playing under four different managers who all struggled to integrate almost £600million of new signings into the team. Former Tottenham boss Pochettino has now been tasked with bringing about an upturn in form and results and is ready for the challenge that lies ahead. “I know very well that Chelsea is one of the greatest clubs in the world,” he said in an interview with his new club released on social media. “Of course, it was easy for us (Pochettino and his backroom staff) to take the decision to move here. “I think it’s exciting for us and of course what we want is to bring the happiness again to this great football club, working hard, playing in the way that the fans can enjoy football.” I think in the last 10, 12, 15 years Chelsea is the greatest team in England Mauricio Pochettino Pochettino has yet to win silverware as a manager in England but did lift the Ligue 1 title as Paris St Germain coach in 2022 before being sacked weeks later. “The history of Chelsea is to win,” the 51-year-old said. “But it’s important also in the way that we are going to build up the victories – I think in the last 10, 12, 15 years Chelsea is the greatest team in England. “I know very well the Premier League, I know very well what Chelsea means, the culture of Chelsea. “Our fans, they’re so excited also to again be on the road of trying to win and of course, for us we feel really excited about working with a very young team.” It has already been another summer of change on the pitch for Chelsea, who have signed forwards Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku to add to Pochettino’s firepower. They have also moved on a host of talent with the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Mateo Kovacic, Edouard Mendy, Kai Havertz and Ruben Loftus-Cheek departing and Mason Mount on the cusp of joining Manchester United.

Australia captain Sam Kerr will not wear ‘OneLove’ armband at Women’s World Cup in fear of yellow card
Sam Kerr says she would "love" to wear the ‘OneLove’ armband during Australia’s 2023 Women’s World Cup campaign but will not "put the team at risk" by doing so. The armband was at the centre of a row that was a major talking point during the early stages of the men’s competition in Qatar last year. And on Friday it was confirmed that, as at that tournament, players will not be allowed to wear it in matches at the women’s showpiece in Australia and New Zealand this summer, with FIFA unveiling a range of other, approved bands which can highlight social issues and causes. Speaking at a press conference on Monday as Australia’s 23-player World Cup squad was announced, Matildas skipper and Chelsea striker Kerr said: "The men’s World Cup, the women’s World Cup... being honest I kind of expected it, I didn’t expect them to change it (the rule). "Obviously we would love to wear it - like most of the teams in the whole world, everyone has voiced that they would love to wear it. "But I think you saw with the men’s World Cup, (England captain) Harry Kane for example, first game, if he had worn it, yellow card, if he’d got a yellow card in the game, he would’ve been sent off. "So for me it’s not worth the risk of putting the team at risk, of putting the tournament at risk, putting everything at risk. "There will be multiple opportunities where we get to use our voice, and there will be multiple opportunities where I get to use my voice for things. "We would have liked to have worn it but I’m not going to put this team at risk, the tournament at risk, and we have to abide by the rules that we’re given really." At the Qatar World Cup, captains of the nations involved in the ‘OneLove’ campaign, including England and Wales, were threatened with sporting sanctions starting at a yellow card if the bands were worn because they would have been a breach of FIFA equipment regulations. The forthcoming tournament gets under way on July 20, with Australia opening their Group B campaign that day against the Republic of Ireland in Sydney.
