“They will” – Fabrizio Romano on Chelsea’s Mauricio Pochettino sacking decision | OneFootball

The pressure has cranked up once again on Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino after he saw his side get thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal on Tuesday night.

Many fans want him sacked, others think he should stay until the end of the season and then replaced, and a very small amount want him to stay even beyond the end of this season. Either way, fan pressure is high, and media pressure is also high.

There was many reports out yesterday, some suggesting that Chelsea could now pull the plug on Pochettino in the summer, others are saying that the players liking Pochettino so much might save his job.

So really, it’s unclear at the moment what will happen at the end of the season and whether Chelsea will chose to stick or twist with the Argentine head coach.

But I think Fabrizio Romano’s version of events is the most accurate, and that is that the club have not made any actual decision on Pochettino’s future yet and will assess at the end of the season, but they are now unlikely to pull the plug anytime soon and he will at least see out the end of this season, which now only has 6 games remaining anyway.

Romano spoke last night on his Here We Go Podcast, he said: “The future of Mauricio Pochettino has not changed today! It was business as usual at Chelsea. They will give him the opportunity to go to the end of the season. Talkswill happen at the end of the season but nothing is imminent.”

So there you have it, the pressure is building and Chelsea will make a decision at the end of this season. Personally I think whether Chelsea make Europa League or not might make a slight difference but in reality, I feel like he could be gone now either way.
