Chelsea say Mauricio Pochettino is welcome back at Stamford Bridge anytime - and he won't have long to wait to put that to the test.

The Blues have been plunged into uncertainty once again, with the Argentine officially leaving the club by mutual consent on Tuesday.

The former Tottenham manager had only been in the job for one season, shaking off inconsistent form to eventually guide the Blues to a sixth place finish, as well as qualification for European football.

But despite having one year left on his deal, his time at Stamford Bridge is now up - but it won't be long until he's back at the ground.

That's because Pochettino will return to Chelsea's home for Soccer Aid on June 9.

That's just 19 days after his departure as Blues manager.
