“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season,” read a statement from sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
“He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career.”

“The club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come.”
Support staff Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino have left Chelsea, too.
