Betting specials are now given around Mauricio Pochettino's first season as Chelsea manager
Mauricio Pochettino is ready to take charge of his first season as Chelsea manager and bookies are giving various specials around his debut season at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino will have to win over Chelsea fans after previously being Tottenham manager and a big start to the season will help him massively.
Paddy Power have a big market around Pochettino's reign at the club including odds that he is sacked at some point before Christmas Day later this year.
The latest betting odds are 6/1 that he is dismissed before then with odds also given of 3/1 that he leaves at any time before the season is over.

Chelsea are 5/2 to win a major trophy in the upcoming season
It's not all doom and gloom in the betting market around Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea with odds also given for the manager to win a major trophy in his first season.
Chelsea will want to win the Premier League as a priority and they're 16/1 to win the title this season, but they will also be going for the EFL and FA Cup's too.
The Blues are not in Europe this year after finishing in 12th place in the league last season and that may well prove positive for them with their priorities in one place.
Other odds include Todd Boehly and Pochettino both leaving together
Mauricio Pochettino failing this season would surely cause question marks around co-owner Todd Boehly's time as chairman of the club.
If Pochettino was to leave his role at some point before the end of the season we may well see Boehly step down as chairman of Chelsea too.
Paddy Power have this as one of their specials with odds of 12/1 that Boehly leaves his post as Chairman and Pochettino leaves as manager before the season ends.
Those odds give an implied probability of 7% that it happens but the fact that odds are being offered shows the state that the club is currently at.
