“Pochettino could be sacked on Christmas!”… Former EPL striker’s cool-headed ‘prediction’: “We will follow in Porter’s footsteps”
Chelsea in the English Premier League (EPL) is in crisis. It is also a crisis for new coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea recorded only one win in the EPL this season and fell to 14th place in the league. The first win was also achieved against promoted team Luton Town. Chelsea has attempted to recruit players by spending a record amount of money in the transfer market, but is in a downward spiral.
The person who is regarded as the culprit of Chelsea’s fall is manager Pochettino. He was recognized for his leadership skills by playing attractive and beautiful attacking football during his time at Tottenham, but has yet to show any intensity at Chelsea.스포츠토토
Although they advanced to the round of 16 with a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the round of 32 of the Carabao Cup on the 28th, there is still a lot of distrust.
In this situation, Darren Bent, a striker who played for Tottenham, Sunderland, and Aston Villa in the past, and who also played for the England national team, made a harsh prediction. He mentioned the possibility of coach Pochettino’s dismissal through Britain’s ‘Talk Sports’.
“I think there is a chance that Pochettino will be sacked,” Bent said.
He continued, “Pochettino is facing pressure to turn the club around. Chelsea seems to be stuck in this atmosphere. Is it important for Chelsea to rebuild the team, or is immediate success more important? It is a situation that has not been answered.” He explained.
Then he brought up the name of director Graham Potter. He took charge of Chelsea’s rebuild last season, but was sacked due to lack of immediate results. This means that Coach Pochettino can also follow in Coach Porter’s footsteps.
Bent said: “Potter came to rebuild Chelsea, but Chelsea pulled the plug. Pochettino also thinks Chelsea could do the same if things don’t improve. A decision will be made at Christmas. Chelsea are also midway through Christmas. “If we are ranked high on the table, Chelsea will make changes,” he emphasized.
