just in from Fabrizio Romano “Your Career Is Over Here we don’t see Any Future in you here at Chelsea” – an official announcement by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly this evening has officially Sacked Pochettino this Christmas Night, following the team’s loss to Wolverhampton
In other Chelsea news, the odds have changed for the Blues boss since the Red Devils’ failed trip to East London this afternoon.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is now the odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League boss to quit. This comes after West Ham beat United easily at the London Stadium this afternoon.
The Red Devils lost their eighth league game of the season, with goals in the second half from Jarrod Bowen and Mohamed Kudus. They are now in eighth place after an up-and-down first half of the season at Old Trafford. Even though British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is putting money into the team, fans don’t have high hopes for the Dutch boss, who has told them many times that wins will come in the future.
It came after a terrible Champions League season in which they finished last in their group after losing to Bayern Munich, Copenhagen, and Galatasaray. As a result, Ten Hag is now 17/20 to be the next manager to be fired, down from 6/5 before the West Ham loss.
At 5/1, Roy Hodgson is the second-favorite manager for Crystal Palace. At 11/1, Vincent Kompany is the choice manager for Burnley, whose team has had trouble adjusting to the Premier League after winning the Championship last year.
However, Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, has also been under a lot of heat from both the media and the fans because his team hasn’t played well since he took over in the summer. It hasn’t been easy for the Argentine to get the Blues out of their worst Premier League season in 30 years and back into the running for a spot in Europe’s football leagues.
Even though they beat rivals Tottenham and Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup this week and tied with title contenders Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, they’ve had the most trouble with teams they should easily beat. Losses to Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, and Everton are the main points of contention.
The Blues manager is currently priced at 12/1, but that price has changed a lot from one game to the next. David Moyes, the manager of the Irons, is a 14/1 shot, while Eddie Howe and Nuno Espirito Santo, the new manager of Forest, are both 16/1 shots.
It’s 20/1 that Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder will take over after Paul Heckingbottom was fired a few weeks ago. On the other hand, it’s 33/1 that Luton Town manager Rob Edwards will leave his job in the middle of the season.
