Chelsea fans can’t possibly be happy. After huge investments in the playing staff, the club is only 11th in the Premier League table. After another disappointment, a draw with Brentford (2:2), there was talk of a possible parting with coach Mauricio Pochettino. As per Guardian, that will not happen. At least not for a while. The Argentine apparently has the support of the management and the idea is to wait for the end of the season, in order to make an analysis, and after that, a decision whether the two sides can continue cooperation will be made. The former manager of Tottenham and PSG signed a two-year contract upon his arrival, but he might not be at Stamford for a second season. If the Blues choose to into another direction, Pochettino could be succeeded by Ruben Amorim or Roberto De Zerbi.🚨 #Chelsea’s desire to wait until the end of the season before reviewing Mauricio Pochettino’s position has not stopped the club from identifying Rúben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi as potential replacements for the Argentinian.#CFCVia @JacobSteinberg pic.twitter.com/nVBT6QxpM4— Chelsea Express (@Chels_Express1) March 5, 2024 The club from Stamford Bridge does not want to rush things and will carefully consider the situation. Pochettino takes the frequent injuries of important players as a mitigating circumstance, and they are satisfied with the control he has over the dressing room. The impression is that he is leading a significantly changed and very young team in the right direction. On the other hand, the position of the Argentine coach was further shaken by the defeat to Liverpool in the final of the League Cup, especially due to the fact that the Reds were seriously decimated, with several young and inexperienced players in the squad. The Guardian reports that Pochettino’s fate will depend on whether Chelsea, who will also play in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup in mid-March, will make it to the Euro stage.In football, you pay with the frustration: Poch opens up about the Chelsea fans’ angry chants towards himConsidering that this is also a question mark, the club’s leaders have started to think about alternatives and are closely following Amorim from Lisbon’s Sporting and De Zerbi from Brighton. Both are reportedly on Liverpool’s wish list, given that Jurgen Klopp has announced his departure, and there was also talk of Manchester United’s interest in the former Sassuolo coach, if the Devils decide to part ways Erik ten Hag. Amorim was also the target of interest from the Blues last August. Although he is only 39 years old, he has been great with Sporting for several seasons, he also won the title in 2021, and he is close to a new one this season. The London club eventually gave the job to Pochettino, but continued to follow one of Europe’s most promising coaches.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE1/8 finals – second legTuesday23:00: (2.55) Sociedad (3.45) PSG (2.90)23:00: (1.30) Bayern (5.80) Lazio (9.00)Wednesday23:00: (1.60) Real Madrid (4.20) RB Leipzig (6.00)23:00: (1.15) Man.City (8.00) Copenhagen (16.0)Tuesday the 12th23:00: (1.77) Barcelona (3.60) Napoli (4.80)23:00: (1.28) Arsenal (5.70) Porto (10.5)Wednesday the 13th23:00: (3.05) Atl.Madrid (3.30) Inter (2.55)23:00: (2.15) Dortmund (3.50) PSV (3.30)***odds are subject to change***
