Mauricio Pochettino is being tipped by many to be the next Chelsea manager if Graham Potter is sacked. With the Blues currently on a 30-year low when it comes to results, the pressure continues to mount on Potter with supporters expressing their desire for a change following last weekend’s latest defeat to Tottenham.
Although Todd Boehly has continued to reiterate his stance on sticking by the under-fire manager, Chelsea’s slide down the table has made it inevitable for possible replacements to be discussed among the fanbase. Pochettino is currently the bookies favourite to be the next manager at Stamford Bridge, coming in at 2/1 to take over from Potter.
However, despite being the talk of the town, 90min write that he has already rejected an enquiry from Chelsea as to his services. This would be a blow as a man with his pedigree of managing young players, development over time and working within a wider structure is the type of person suited to Boehly and his long-term vision.
