“The terminated his contract with informing us today am terminating my contract from Chelsea, Pochettino is the reason why I am still at Chelsea- Chelsea Star Player have terminated his contract this morning with the Blues
Nicolas Jackson has voiced his displeasure with Chelsea’s management following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure. Pochettino, who only spent one season with Chelsea, led the team to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League and guided them to the Carabao Cup final, where they lost to Liverpool.
Despite these achievements, the Chelsea board decided to terminate Pochettino’s contract after an end-of-season review. This decision has sparked reactions from several Chelsea players, including Cole Palmer, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Noni Madueke, who have expressed their gratitude towards Pochettino.
Jackson also thanked Pochettino but used the opportunity to criticize Chelsea’s management. He posted a photo of himself with Pochettino on Instagram Stories, accompanied by two facepalm emojis, signaling his frustration. In a follow-up post, Jackson shared another picture of him and Pochettino, captioned, “I love you coach and wish we could spend more time together.” He added, “May God keep blessing you and your loved ones. I appreciate your guidance and assistance. You’re a real warrior and lion; best of luck to you.”
Jackson’s comments reflect a broader sentiment among some Chelsea players and fans who believe that Pochettino’s tenure should have been longer. They feel that, given the team’s previous finishes of 13th and 12th place, achieving sixth place represented significant progress.
Cole Palmer echoed this sentiment, noting that while everyone at Chelsea aims for higher placements, the improvement from previous seasons to a sixth-place finish should be seen as a step in the right direction. Palmer emphasized that returning to European competitions marks a positive move for the team.
Overall, Jackson’s reaction underscores the mixed feelings within the club regarding Pochettino’s departure and highlights ongoing concerns about the management’s decision-making process.
