Chelsea fans were furious with Todd Boehly and Mauricio Pochettino after their club once again failed to perform. Pochettino must do well in the next months if he hopes to remain Chelsea’s coach. Chelsea just got one point in their last Premier League game against Brentford. Axel Disasi scored a late equalizer after Brentford scored two goals in short succession in the second half, turning the game around after Nicolas Jackson’s opener.
Will Mauricio Pochettino get sacked?
Mauricio Pochettino is the fifth manager at Chelsea under Todd Boehly. It seems like Pochettino might be in trouble again after Chelsea lost the Carabao Cup final and only managed a draw against Brentford. People are already thinking about who might be the next manager.
A week before the draw with Brentford, Chelsea lost a close match to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, with Virgil van Dijk scoring a late winner in extra time. After losing more points, it seems unlikely that Chelsea can finish high enough in the Premier League to qualify for Europe. However, their season isn’t finished yet. Between the loss to Liverpool and the draw with Brentford, Chelsea beat Leeds United in the FA Cup, setting up a quarter-final match against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge. Winning a trophy might help Pochettino keep his job, but many people at the club think it’s already over for him. Ultimately, only Boehly and Behdad Eghbali’s opinions matter, and it seems like they want Pochettino to stay for now.
Chelsea’s plan has always been to review the manager’s situation in the summer. Pochettino signed a two-year contract with Chelsea, with a possibility of extending it for another year, so they’ll evaluate his position after the season ends. For someone like Pochettino, who has just started working with a completely new team in west London, it’s very difficult to make noticeable improvements in the beginning of a long project.
