MANCHESTER, England (AP) — It’s fair to say things have not gone to plan for Todd Boehly at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino is promising to change all that. The Premier League club’s new manager has given a glimpse of the ambition that likely convinced Boehly he was the man to turn Chelsea’s fortunes around. Pochettino is already Boehly’s third managerial appointment in what has been chaotic first year of the American businessman’s co-ownership with private investment firm Clearlake Capital. Thomas Tuchel was fired within weeks of the start of last season and replaced with Graham Potter. He was shown the door seven months into a five-year contract. Frank Lampard saw out the end of a miserable campaign.
