Mauricio Pochettino suggests Chelsea are a 'different project' to the one Champions League-winner Thomas Tuchel took over as former Spurs boss struggles to make the most of £1billion spent under Todd Boehly ownership

Mauricio Pochettino does not believe it is fair to compare his early Chelsea tenure to that of former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel, who is now in charge of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, won the Champions League in 2021 just months after arriving in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.

Life at Chelsea has not been so straightforward for former Spurs manager Pochettino, who has seen his new side win just one of their first five Premier League games this season.

His squad has been ravaged by injuries in recent weeks, with only 15 first-team players available for the goalless draw at Bournemouth last weekend.
