Chelsea’s Position on Firing Mauricio Pochettino Revealed Following Arsenal Defeat

Chelsea will reportedly make a decision on the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season. The pressure is growing on the Argentine after his side were hammered 5-0 at Arsenal on Tuesday night, leaving them in ninth place in the Premier League table. This defeat came after a loss to Man City in the FA Cup final, their last chance for silverware in the 2023/24 season.

Since Pochettino took charge, Chelsea has struggled for consistency and suffered a defeat to an injury-ravaged Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final in February. The club also faces the need to make player sales in the summer to comply with the Premier League’s new profit and sustainability regulations. Despite the underwhelming results, Todd Boehly and co are considering the circumstances around Pochettino before making a decision on his future.

The post-season review will involve co-owners Behdad Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano, as well as sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart. Pochettino’s frustration was evident after the recent defeat, and he implied that the club hierarchy needed to improve their processes. He also chose not to blame the players for the current situation, emphasizing the need for better strategic decisions in the future.
