In Monday's official announcement, Chelsea announced the departure of caretaker leader Lambert, and also announced that Poujitianou has taken over the position and will officially assume his new role on July 1st. According to media reports, Putitino signed a two-year contract with Chelsea and included a right of first refusal, as well as three demands, which were accepted by Chelsea chairman Pauli.
In a statement on Chelsea's official website, Pauli said, "After much deliberation, we are very pleased to welcome Pucettenu to the Chelsea family. He is a world-class manager with an outstanding coaching career and we look forward to working with him to achieve great things."
Media analysis suggests that Chelsea had committed to a 5-year contract when they signed Park Tat in September last year, but this time they only signed a 2+1 year contract, which is a significantly shorter term. On the one hand, it is to avoid a repeat of the Park Dar incident, and on the other hand, it is a higher risk of signing a long-term contract in view of Pujitenu's high annual salary.
