Chelsea's poor run of form has once again put the spotlight on Mauricio Pochettino in the Stamford Bridge dugout. Fans again chanted for the Argentine boss to be sacked after Saturday's draw with Brentford, and he is under pressure once more.
"Yes, I've been told but I did not hear, to be honest. That is why it is difficult for me to understand. I don't know. I need to believe what you are telling me but it is normal. We were losing the game 2-1 and it's about to express their frustration and we are responsible. I am responsible. I am the head coach," said Pochettino.
The former Tottenham boss arrived at the Blues on a two-year contract and the bosses were going to wait until the end of the season to review his situation, but after a poor season that has seen them languish in 11th place in the table, the rumours of sacking have not ceased.
Chelsea are reported to have two potential replacements on their radar, Ruben Amorim (Sporting CP) and Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton). Both are also on the shortlist to replace Klopp who steps down at Liverpool at the end of the season and have also been rumoured as replacements for Ten Hag in the event of his sacking, so it will be a competition to secure the services of either of them.
