    Chelsea’s pursuit of a successor to Mauricio Pochettino has received a boost, with reports suggesting potential developments on the horizon.

    While Pochettino remains contracted to Stamford Bridge until 2025, speculation abounds regarding his impending departure at the end of the season.

    The Argentine’s tenure has yielded minimal progress for the Blues, as evidenced by their current 11th place standing in the Premier League table.

    Despite securing a spot in the Carabao Cup final, Pochettino’s team stumbled in a lackluster extra-time display, suffering a 1-0 defeat against a weakened Liverpool side.

    Such disappointing results have sparked discussions about potential replacements, with managerial figures like Jose Mourinho and Thomas Tuchel among those rumored for the vacancy.

    Amid this managerial speculation, attention has turned to Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, whose name has frequently surfaced in recent discussions.

    According to reports from FOOTBALLWAVE, there is a palpable sense of ‘concern’ within the Seagulls camp, as the ‘unhappy’ Italian considers a potential departure this summer.

    Brighton, currently sitting in 8th place, have enjoyed a commendable season.

    However, doubts persist regarding De Zerbi’s future, fueled by perceived lack of significant progress, particularly in their cautious approach to the transfer market.

    Despite offloading players like Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister, the club’s prudent spending has raised doubts about their ambition.

    For De Zerbi, renowned for his expansive attacking style, the opportunity to manage Chelsea presents an enticing prospect.

    However, concerns have arisen regarding his team’s defensive vulnerabilities.

    Brighton’s defensive frailties have been evident, conceding 59 goals in 39 matches across all competitions this season.

    Notable defeats include a 3-2 loss to AEK Athens, a 6-1 defeat against Aston Villa, and heavy losses against Chelsea, Luton Town, Fulham, and Roma.

    While De Zerbi’s team has kept seven clean sheets, only three have been in the Premier League, highlighting the urgent need for defensive solidity.

    The importance of defensive organization cannot be overstated, as demonstrated by the success of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, whose defensive prowess complements their attacking strength.

    For De Zerbi to excel at a club like Chelsea, mastering defensive coaching is crucial.

    Before taking charge of a European powerhouse, he must address his team’s defensive shortcomings, ensuring resilience and stability at the back.
