Will Mauricio Pochettino be sacked? (Source- Twitter)
Chelsea FC are struggling with form in the ongoing English Premier League season. The Blues are presently placed ninth in the league table and far away from the UEFA qualification scenario for the upcoming season. Mauricio Pochettino's side was thrashed by Arsenal at the Emirates stadium in their last game. The Gunners humiliated the West London side by winning the game 5-0. After the loss the Argentine head coach has been under immense pressure irrespective of joining the side in 2023 July.
The only silverware they were chasing was the FA Cup but they lost in the semi-final of the oldest football tournament against Manchester City and for the time being they are not chasing any kind of trophies for the season. With 6 games still in hand they will look to finish the campaign on higher note. Irrespective of spending a massive amount of £434.5m on players, which was the highest amount spent by any club during a transfer window in Premier League history.
However they failed to have any impact on the ground despite spending the huge amount of money in the transfer market. Pochettino has been blamed by the fans as well as other, but former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand backs the manager as he believes the problems are not with the coach and it is way beyond. The management of the London club needs to review the former Tottenham head coach's performance at the end of the season. After their 5-0 defeat conceded the most goals in their PL history.
Rio Ferdinand backs Pochettino
The former English defender said, "What I would say is that if you have spent a billion pounds on potential then you can’t sack the manager. I’m really interested to see how this summer goes in terms of the management situation." The Blues will hope to turn things around in the next season with their UEFA Champions League win is still fresh. The upcoming window for the side will be interesting as their might be bunch of changes in the squad.
There have been consistency problem for the side which they need to figure out in the upcoming season, with the rest of the games their star player Cole Palmer will like to add more goals in his bag as he is currently the joint highest goal scorer in the PL this season. The West London side will miss their star midfielder Enzo Fernandez who has picked up groin injury and will miss the rest of the season.
