Coming from Fabrizio Romano this morning Chelsea Manager Mouricio Pochettino has been Sacked in Divastating scene this Afternoon after Shocking Lost to Middlesbrough
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is under a lot of pressure again after his team lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough on the road in the first game of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday. The 51-year-old saw his team lose because of the same problems that have been bothering them all season. They need to get better at Stamford Bridge in two weeks.
Pochettino is having more and more problems as Chelsea struggles in the middle of the table with as many losses as wins after 20 games. He’s been fired before as boss, and this is the second time. He only took over in the summer.
After a 2-0 loss to Everton in early December, the club stuck with the former Tottenham boss. It only took a month for some fans to start to question his skills as a manager. There isn’t much hope left, even though the second game is still to come and the team’s league form is getting better. They also have an FA Cup fourth-round match coming up soon.
On a different day, Chelsea could have scored three goals at the Riverside Stadium, even though Middlesbrough took the lead. But they had to react because Cole Palmer missed a bunch of huge chances before halftime. Boro, led by Michael Carrick, made them pay for another slow start when Hayden Hackney scored the game’s only goal.
In the next few minutes, Chelsea had almost complete control of the ball and had many chances to tie the game but failed miserably. In the semi-final, Pochettino is only halfway through the game. He still has a chance to make things right, but his patience is running thin.
Only Roy Hodgson, Erik ten Hag, Eddie Howe, Vincent Kompany, and Thomas Frank have better odds than the boss to be the next Premier League manager fired. His odds are 14/1. But all of these managers have been in charge for a lot longer than Pochettino, which shows how badly things have gone.
Pochettino still has 18 months left on his original contract with Chelsea, but having their team lose in the cup to a team from a lower league and then struggle in 10th place is something that no recent manager has been able to handle.
