Chelsea are a crazy club man. Pochettino was starting to get Chelsea looking like a good team again. He wasn’t responsible for most of the signings that haven’t gone that well. I think they should have given him time.
And now I see that the Ipswich manager is favourite to take over?
Crazy, crazy club.
@ESPNUKChelsea will likely seek a younger coach, with Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna one name widely linked, sources have told ESPN 👀
https://x.com/espnuk/status/1793007487567765574I think Chelsea will keep Pochettino apparently now in internal talks several coaching candidates but indeed he wants to choose a young coach he said according to the news, this is really strange,,, but Chelsea wants the VfB coach as the main candidate but he still wants to be at VfB somehow Chelsea will spend a lot of money again.
That Chelsea has a lot of money it won't be crazy for him haha. even if you think about it with Pochettino's current situation it might be better for next season because he has started a pretty good journey even though his win rate is still low this season.
Pochettino dismissal was indeed very surprising, where I predict that the Blues management will retain their manager for next season, the club top officials are continuing the tradition of the Abramovich era who liked to fire coaches. However, if Abramovich still occupies the same chair, maybe the dismissal will happen earlier, Pochettino will definitely be fired in Chelsea first 10 matches, in this case Todd Boehly seems to have better patience than the previous club owner.
In two consecutive seasons, Chelsea missed out on the Champions League, and this season the Blues closed the season empty-handed, clearly that is unacceptable if you look at the transfer fees they spent to build squad depth, and that is the main factor why Pochettino fired. However, on the other hand, Pochettino cannot be completely blamed, because Chelsea this season is struggling with very serious injury problems, so Pochettino efforts are not optimal and very limited.
Next season the competition for the Premier League trophy will definitely be more difficult, in the last two seasons City has continued to compete closely with Arsenal, and both teams have not shown any signs of decline. On this basis, Chelsea management must look for a quality manager for next season, at least to compete in the top four of the standings, while waiting for their young squad to be more mature and ready to challenge for trophies.
