Former Chelsea Player Cesc Fabregas has been spotted in Stamford Bridge training ground this week ahead of stunning managerial return!
Cesc Fabregas has explained why he was at Chelsea’s training field last week and expressed astonishment at Mauricio Pochettino’s abrupt departure only days after they spent an hour and a half talking.
The Argentine coach departed the west London club on Tuesday evening by’mutual agreement’, 11 months after arriving, and the Blues are now seeking for a new manager.
After a challenging season, Chelsea finished with five straight victories to earn a spot in Europe, as well as reaching the Carabao Cup final and FA Cup semi-finals.
Como coach Fabregas claims there was no hint during his visit to Cobham on Friday that Pochettino’s term was about to expire, and his words debunked supporters’ beliefs that he was in the running to take over.
‘It’s tough to accept or have an opinion when you aren’t there to see what occurred,’ Fabregas remarked on BBC Sounds’ Planet Premier League podcast on Wednesday. Look, I was there. Funnily enough, I traveled to London over the weekend.
Firstly, I had a terrific relationship with Mauricio. When we played against them, I always thought he was a very kind guy, a gentleman.
‘So I thought they won four games in a row on Friday [when he visited], two days before the conclusion of the season, so everything is pleasant and wonderful and calm around the training ground, the last game of the season.
