One report today has suggested that the future of Mauricio Pochettino will rest on one key thing for the rest of this season with the Blues head coach under huge amounts of pressure now.
Most Chelsea fans want him sacked, many wanted him gone months ago, and any who don’t want him sacked yet, are still pretty keen to see him gone at the end of the season. It’s important to say that not all Chelsea fans want him sacked though, but it is certainly the majority that do.
Chelsea have not caved in to fan pressure yet and have stuck with their guns, probably trying to save face and not admit to more mistakes. But Pochettino is still in pace as Chelsea boss, somehow, and he will lead the team into the next match on Saturday night against Aston Villa.
The pressure is building though, and Football London believes that the last six matches are going to be key for Pochettino’s future.
They claim Pochettino will see his role as head coach reviewed by Chelsea at the end of the season. Chelsea still have a shot of qualifying for some form of European competition – which is believed to be one of the club’s objectives following Pochettino’s appointment.
Fabrizio Romano has also recently given his stance on Pochettino’s future from what his sources are saying.
Chelsea would have wanted Champions League football this season, make no mistake about that, and Pochettino is not going to achieve that now. There’s a chance of Europa League, and even more chance of Europa Conference League.
Even if we get any of the above, Pochettino should go regardless. He’s failed to create a connection with the fans, with the majority against him. His tactics are chaotic and open, and he is coaching a ridiculously leaky defence – which IS on the head coach I am afraid no matter how anyone wants to try and spin it.
