and archer's ready to fire for england. after his spell out injured before their limited overs series with pakistan. hello, and welcome to sportsday — and the premier league managerial fallout continues, following the finish to the season. chelsea announced on tuesday that manager mauricio pochettino has left the club by mutual consent. he was in charge forjust one season. the argentinian was under pressure after an underwhelming first half of the campaign — but had managed to turn things around somewhat, and finished the season in the top six. chelsea were also runners—up in the league cup and reached the semi—finals of the fa cup. pochettino was chelsea's sixth permanent manager in five years. in england, he previously also managed tottenham and southampton — but is yet to win a domestic trophy earlier, i caught up with bbc

5live�*s senior football reporter ian dennis, who told me the news could come as some surprise. pochettino secured european football for chelsea for next season,is football for chelsea for next season, is on the surface, it may seem a little bit odd i wonder if they might be some chelsea fans see the back of them. a given how well they finished the season and starting to slip into place, i think there may be some wondering what is next and what do the owners necessarily want from chelsea.— from chelsea. where do you think the — from chelsea. where do you think the decision _ from chelsea. where do you think the decision has - from chelsea. where do you think the decision has come | think the decision has come from? it sort of comes out of the blue on a tuesday night. i

was told that he was unsure of his future, and i've told there'd been discussions there have been amicable over the course of the last day or two between pochettino and the sporting dressed or —— director. it was decided it was in the best interest for chelsea to take this decision. from what i can gather, pochettino was more than happy with that and his entire coaching staff also departed stanford bridge.— coaching staff also departed stanford bridge. what next for the club? who _ stanford bridge. what next for the club? who would - stanford bridge. what next for the club? who would be - stanford bridge. what next for the club? who would be a - stanford bridge. what next for the club? who would be a be l the club? who would be a be thinking about bringing in? where they go next will be fascinating given the fact that under this regime, they've sacked graham potter and thomas tuchel, i now maurizio pochettino. knowing whoever is

going in next will go in with his eyes wide open knowing the the bridge will be externally high. what they are going to be walking into is a club that clearly is going to back their manager. they've got an array of youngsters — notably cold parmer — who are very exciting —— cole homer. i think someone like kieran mckenna would be in charge. i know roberto has recently left brighton and hove albion and people might be trouble to put two and two together, but whoever goes is obviously going to have to try and better what maurizio pochettino has achieved this time. . , , well, under pochettino's time at chelsea, the club spent more than £400 million

on players — and in his 51 games in charge, he managed to win 27 of those — with 14 losses, and 10 draws. the west london side spent the majority of the season in the bottom half of the table, but as ian said just now — they massively improved towards the end. towards the end finishing the season 6th — but still a huge 28 points behind eventual champions manchester city. they could still find themselves in the europa league next season. whilst there has been speculation over pochettino's future, the news still comes as a shock to many fans. i'm surprised and i think probably a bit disappointed as welt — probably a bit disappointed as well. when you look at the way the results went in the last four— the results went in the last four or— the results went in the last four or five games, they looked like things were starting to turn — like things were starting to turn around. a long—term project _ turn around. a long—term project was to bring the kids along — project was to bring the kids along and build a team. that's what _ along and build a team. that's what we — along and build a team. that's what we thought would happen. no idea — what we thought would happen. no idea this was going to happen— no idea this was going to happen today and very surprised.— happen today and very surrised. ., ., ,, ~' surprised. how do you think most fans — surprised. how do you think most fans will _ surprised. how do you think most fans will be _ surprised. how do you think most fans will be feeling - surprised. how do you think i most fans will be feeling about this news? is there a sense

with real in the champions league final, beforejoining up with the germany squad. the news australia didn't want to hear — it's been confirmed that the matildas will be without their star striker sam kerr for the paris 0lympics, in just over two months�* time. the chelsea striker is still recovering from a anterior cruciate ligament injury, which happened during her club's training camp injanuary. kerr is australia's all—time record goal—scorer. she's one of several key matildas players sidelined by injury. cricket now, and england's limited—overs side are in action tomorrow for the first time since their disappointing defence of the world cup last year. they start a four—match t20 series against pakistan at headingley, their only preparation before their defence of the t20 world cup begins in barbados next month. bowler mark wood and all—rounder liam livingstone will miss the match because of knee issues.

but fast bowlerjofra archer is set to make his first england appearance since march, and captainjos buttler is delighted to see him available again. got a big smile on his face, he's enjoying being back on the group more than anything as well. i think it's going to be great to see him back in an england shirt. he's obviously had a tough few years and now it's been very difficult and frustrating, so not really expecting too much from him. just very much want him to enjoy playing cricket for england and again and doing. that is just about it from us. just enough time to recap our top story. mauricio pochettino has left chelsea by mutual consent. the argentine, who was only in charge for one season, was under pressure after an underwhelming first half of the season. but a run of five successive wins to end the season ensured they finished sixth in the premier league, with european qualification. pochettino was chelsea's sixth permanent manager in five years,

following the sacking of thomas tuchel and graham potter. you can get all the latest sports news and more from that story on the bbc sports app and from our website. from me and the rest of the team here, we'll see you soon. hello, thanks forjoining me. we had some wet weather today, but wednesday for some of us is going to be a wash—out. persistent rain, heavy at times, on the way, and it's starting this evening. now, here's the forecast. it's already been quite wet in east anglia and the south—east. the rain will spread into the midlands through the night. it'll nudge into the peak district and then spread into northern england by the early hours of wednesday morning. could reach eastern

parts of wales, too. but scotland and northern ireland, apart from a few showers here and there, actually looking generally dry. so, tomorrow's forecast, then. this is the morning, a widespread area of rain. we'll zoom in and see what's happening around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. now, by that stage, i think the heaviest of the rain will have cleared east anglia, the south—east, and along the southern counties, blustery winds and occasional showers. so here's that persistent rain from the midlands, wales, the north of england, pretty much almost everywhere. that rain's just nudging into southern scotland. more showery, though, across the highlands. but look at northern ireland — escapes most of the rain. if anything, that rain should reach you later in the afternoon, probablyjust into the east of northern ireland. now, this is an area of low pressure that's parked itself in the north sea, and that weather front willjust spiral around the centre of the low. so, in some areas, the rain will keep falling in the same place for a couple of days, so really, a substantial amount of rainfall is possible. now, by thursday, the rain will be, well, not quite as heavy and it'll be more patchy, but i think a lot of cloud and at least the chance of encountering some

rain on thursday. best of the weather in the south, the south—east, as well as east anglia. infact, in norwich, london, portsmouth, plymouth, it could actually end up being a fairly bright, if not sunny, day, but cool. now, how much rain are we going to get? well, through wednesday and thursday, a lot. now, these teal colours here across the pennines and generally northern england could indicate as much as 40—50 millimetres of rain. but the met office is suggesting that in some spots, in the extreme case, we could have as much as 100 millimetres of rain or more, and that will lead to some flooding. now, here's the good news. as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend, the weather will slowly settle down. and there are indications that as we go through the weekend into bank holiday monday, we are going to have primarily dry and bright weather with just a scattering of showers, so some good news for you there. bye— bye.
