We 'appointed' Mauricio Pochettino as new Chelsea manager and he secured a European spot

Mauricio Pochettino is the bookies' current favourite to take over at Chelsea if Graham Potter was to be sacked, with pressure mounting on the Englishman after weeks of poor results.

Potter impressed in his first few games as Chelsea boss, but since the end of the Champions League group stages the Blues have hit a rotten run of form, winning just two of their last 15 games in all competitions. Currently 10th in the Premier League, out of both domestic cup competitions and behind on aggregate in their Champions League Round of 16 tie, fans are calling for Potter to be sacked.

Former Tottenham boss Pochettino is currently the favourite to become Chelsea manager if Potter was to be sacked, but as things stand, the Englishman's job is secure, despite recent results. Pochettinho has been out of management since July last year after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, with the Argentine spending 18 months in France after his departure from Spurs in 2019.
