Some sections of the national media have encouraged Mauricio Pochettino to reconsider his future at Chelsea following the Blues' 2-0 defeat to Brentford. The former Tottenham boss has been heavily linked with replacing Frank Lampard in the dugout as Todd Boehly looks to find the permanent successor to Graham Potter.
As reported on Tuesday, football.london understands that Pochettino has held positive talks with the Blues over becoming the new head coach at the end of the season. It is expected that the 51-year-old is closing in on his first role since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
However, while a deal may be close for the Argentinean, he's been warned that he will be putting his reputation on the line after Chelsea's defeat to Thomas Frank's side highlighted the sheer extent of his task. The Blues are now winless in eight games across all competitions and supporters are increasingly frustrated – luckily Pochettino wasn't in attendance!
