Rumors suggest that Mauricio Pochettino could face the axe next week, paving the way for a potential return of Jose Mourinho to Chelsea.
With just 12 games remaining, Pochettino’s squad currently sits 11th in the Premier League, a slight improvement from last season but still underperforming overall.
Chelsea has struggled throughout the season, evident in their recent match against Brentford where they had to wait until the 83rd minute to equalize.
In response to fans’ chants calling for his dismissal and Mourinho’s return, Pochettino stated, “I didn’t hear it, but it’s understandable given our performance. As the coach, I take responsibility.”
Pochettino emphasized his commitment to improving the team’s performance, acknowledging the fans’ frustrations and expressing his determination to win them over.
Despite the significant investment made under Todd Boehly’s ownership, Chelsea has failed to meet expectations on the pitch.
Reports from the Spanish newspaper Nacional suggest that Boehly is considering terminating Pochettino’s contract, with an announcement expected in the coming week. Mourinho, who left Roma earlier in the season, could be brought in as a replacement.
Chelsea’s board is contemplating Mourinho’s return as they face another disappointing season, raising concerns about their future performance and the need for a change in leadership.
