Chelsea Manager Mouricio Pochettino has been sacked in shocking scene this morning by the Management after fans demands his dismissal
Despite mounting uncertainty surrounding Mauricio Pochettino’s future at Chelsea, Marc Cucurella insists that the manager retains the support of his players. As Pochettino faces increasing pressure nearing the end of his debut season with the Blues, the team’s lackluster performance, winning only 13 out of 33 matches, places them in a disappointing ninth place in the Premier League, trailing by 19 points from the top four.
Since Todd Boehly’s consortium took over the club two years ago, over a billion pounds have been invested in player acquisitions, yet the team has failed to live up to expectations. Following a string of poor results, including a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal and a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final, rumors swirled about Pochettino’s possible dismissal, exacerbated by Arsenal’s thrashing of Tottenham.
Despite setbacks, such as falling 2-0 behind Aston Villa, Chelsea managed to salvage a 2-2 draw, with Cucurella highlighting Pochettino’s leadership and the team’s determination. Cucurella believes in Pochettino’s vision for Chelsea’s future and advocates for giving him more time to implement his strategies.
Addressing concerns about the team’s commitment to Pochettino, Cucurella emphasized the players’ unity and belief in their manager’s abilities. While acknowledging disappointing results, he attributes them more to the team’s performance rather than managerial shortcomings.
Although Pochettino admitted his team’s apparent surrender in a match against Arsenal, their spirited display against Villa offers a glimmer of hope. Notable goals from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher showcased the team’s potential, despite a controversial disallowed goal from Axel Disasi.
Pochettino’s contract, initially for two years with an option for a third, contrasts sharply with his predecessor Graham Potter’s abrupt dismissal. Amid uncertainty, Pochettino seeks clarity from the club’s co-owners and sporting directors while preparing for upcoming matches against Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, and Bournemouth. As the season nears its end, Pochettino faces mounting pressure to secure results and cement his future at Stamford Bridge.
