According to an exclusive report from HITC, the players of Chelsea FC have expressed their frustration with manager Mauricio Pochettino and are calling for his dismissal following their disappointing 2-2 draw against Burnley.
Allegedly, the players have unanimously voiced their desire for the Argentine coach to be replaced before the start of the next season, preferring that he be let go at the conclusion of the current campaign.
Chelsea’s recent form has been far from satisfactory, with the team currently languishing in the lower half of the Premier League table after only managing to secure 40 points from 28 matches.
Despite making it to the Carabao Cup final, where they were defeated by Liverpool in extra time, their league position remains a cause for concern.
The pressure on Pochettino had been mounting even before the Burnley match, but the disappointing result has only exacerbated the situation for the manager.
Now, the players have reportedly communicated their stance to the club’s owners, making it clear that they believe a managerial change is necessary.
As the club’s decision-makers, including Todd Boehly, contemplate their next steps, they must weigh the players’ sentiments against the backdrop of potential challenges in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Chelsea is facing the possibility of a transfer embargo and financial constraints due to their struggles to meet the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.
With a crucial fixture against Manchester United looming on April 4, the outcome of that match could further influence the club’s decision-making regarding Pochettino’s future at Stamford Bridge.
