The arrival of Pochettino, a manager known for his tactical acumen and ability to develop young talents, has undoubtedly played a significant role in Cucurella’s decision to stay in the club and impress him to command playing time.
Despite being previously linked with Newcastle United, as well as having admirers at Atletico Madrid, Marc Cucurella rejected the chance to leave Chelsea this summer.
Marc Cucurella’s decision to reject a move away from the club highlights his strong belief in his abilities and his determination to prove himself under Pochettino’s guidance.
The Spanish defender has been a relatively inconsistent performer for Chelsea since his move from Brighton 12 months ago.
The full-back has, at times, reminded fans why former boss Graham Potter signed him but then, at times, has also looked out of his depth.
Pochettino’s impressive track record of nurturing and improving players is well-known.
