Reports have surfaced that Chelsea has reached out to Mauricio Pochettino to see if he would be interested in replacing current manager Graham Potter. This comes after the Blues’ 1-0 loss to Southampton, which has raised questions about the direction the team is taking under Potter. According to 90min, Pochettino has declined the offer, leaving many fans disappointed as he is a highly regarded manager who has worked with some of the best players in the game.
Chelsea Football Club has reportedly contacted Mauricio Pochettino in the hope that he would replace current manager, Graham Potter. This comes after a poor performance against Southampton which has seen some speculation arise in regards to the direction that the team is taking.
Mauricio Pochettino is a highly reputed manager whose record speaks for itself. During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, he led them to the UEFA Champions League final and also took the team to fourth place in the Premier League during his five-year tenure. With a track record like this, it’s no wonder he is being considered to step in and turn things around for Chelsea.
Unfortunately, Pochettino has declined the offer from Chelsea. Reports from 90min indicate that several other top-level managers were also contacted about the position, but the Blues were hoping for the Argentinean to take the helm. Many Chelsea fans are disappointed at this outcome, however, the club’s board appear to be committed to giving Potter more time to make a difference.
In the short-term, Chelsea will continue to rely on Potter to lead the team and believe in his ability to turn things around. However, with the club’s poor form as of late, it remains to be seen how long he will stay in the job. In any case, the fact that his club has made such a public move to try and recruit Pochettino shows that the future of the team is of great importance to the board.
