Chelsea denied the claims made by Portugal that Ruben Amorim visited London to meet with them about replacing Mauricio Pochettino.
Amorim apologized for the confusion and admitted it was a mistake to travel to London while Sporting was competing for the championship.
He acknowledged it was inappropriate timing and apologized to his players, staff, and fans.
Chelsea insists they did not cover the cost of Amorim’s trip or meet with him while he was in London.
They plan to wait until the end of the season to make any decisions regarding Pochettino’s future.
As Chelsea fights for a spot in Europe, Pochettino’s performance will be closely scrutinized.
Amorim regrets his actions and aims to move forward, emphasizing his responsibility for the mistake and his commitment to Sporting.
According to him; “Let’s remove the big issue from the discussion.” I will discuss this once. The club knew about my trip, to start with. It alters the context and is significant, Amorim remarked on Saturday afternoon.
“The second scenario,” which discusses the trip’s veil of secrecy. I “hiddenly” parked the car outside, walked by around fifteen passengers, snapped pictures of them, and boarded the aircraft.
“Therefore, take away some of the behind our backs stuff, mostly from the club.”
The primary point: I made a mistake when I traveled. At the moment, it didn’t feel appropriate, and the timing was entirely off.
It was improper, made even more so by the fact that I am so hard on my players and am usually the first to admit that the team cannot solve each player’s personal issues, thus it was my responsibility.
“I have to live with it and accept it.” It’s obvious when you think about it icily later. Furthermore, it’s untrue that I failed to inform the players. I gave it to the staff and players.
“It’s time to move on, and I want to use this opportunity to apologize openly to my players, the staff, and Sporting fans in particular.”
