“He will be the best replacement” – Chelsea fans are now saying 61-year-old should replace Mauricio Pochettino as manager
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!In the aftermath of yet another resounding defeat at Stamford Bridge last night, the Chelsea faithful didn’t mince words on social media, unleashing a torrent of discontent. A disheartening 4-2 loss to Wolves at their home turf left the attending fans in a state of absolute fury, directing a significant portion of their ire towards the beleaguered Mauricio Pochettino.
While the manager has seemingly enjoyed a degree of security, possibly attributed to his prior success in the EFL Cup, the looming final against Liverpool at the month’s end demands a performance far superior to their lackluster showing last week.
Notably, there appears to be a faction of supporters who wouldn’t mind seeing Pochettino absent from the helm for the crucial clash, their patience worn thin by the unfolding events of the season. As the Blues find themselves languishing in the lower echelons of the table post yesterday’s defeat, it seems a breaking point for some disgruntled fans.
The clamor for change reverberated across social media platforms, with one fervent supporter emphatically suggesting, “Sack Pochettino and hire Jose Mourinho now before we return to London.” Another vocal fan reminisced, “Chelsea were on a 5 year trophy drought in 2004 and in 2013 they hadn’t won the Premier League in 3 years. José Mourinho came in, signed the right players and got Chelsea winning… both times. When Chelsea are down, José Mourinho comes to the rescue.”
Adding to the chorus, a third supporter pondered the potential road ahead, stating, “This idea is actually appealing to me, Mourinho would put EVERYBODY in their places, but will their egos allow it or would they simply stop playing as usual?”
The prospect of reverting to Mourinho, however, raises eyebrows, considering his recent managerial struggles. His dismissal by Roma after a lackluster start to the campaign still lingers, yet his name remains an ever-present topic of discussion if Pochettino faces the axe. The intricacies of Chelsea’s managerial saga continue to unfold, leaving supporters oscillating between nostalgia and skepticism.
