Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettinos feels VAR should be utilised wisely.
The atmosphere surrounding the future of Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea seems to be one of contention and debate within the club’s hierarchy. Following recent disappointing results, including a loss in the Carabao Cup final and a narrow FA Cup victory over Leeds United, questions have arisen regarding the Argentine coach’s position.
The Express via HITC Journalist Graeme Bailey [h/t Chelsea Chronicle] suggests that there is a divide among the top decision-makers at Chelsea regarding Pochettino’s future. Some factions within the club advocate for offering him a new contract in the summer, emphasizing the complexities of the transitional phase the club is undergoing. Given the recent changes in ownership and management, stability and continuity could be paramount in navigating this period effectively.
On the other hand, there are voices within the club who argue that replacing Pochettino might be necessary to improve Chelsea’s fortunes. With the team currently sitting in 11th place in the Premier League and facing the prospect of missing out on European competition, concerns about the direction of the club are understandable. However, the question remains whether a managerial change would be the solution to these challenges.
One school of thought suggests that sticking with Pochettino could be beneficial in the long run. Despite the current setbacks, Pochettino brings a wealth of experience and tactical acumen to the role. His vision for the team, coupled with time and support from the club hierarchy, could yield positive results in the future. Abruptly changing managers amidst a period of transition may disrupt the continuity needed for sustained progress.
Conversely, some concerns persisting with Pochettino could perpetuate Chelsea’s current struggles. The team’s underwhelming league position and inconsistent performances have raised doubts about Pochettino’s ability to lead the club to success. However, it’s crucial to consider the broader context and the challenges inherent in managing a team during a transitional phase.
Ultimately, the decision regarding Pochettino’s future will require careful deliberation and consideration of various factors. While disagreements within the club’s hierarchy are inevitable, finding common ground and charting a unified path forward will be essential for Chelsea’s success in the long term.
Whether Pochettino ultimately retains his position or a managerial change occurs, the club’s ultimate goal remains clear: to return to prominence and compete for top honours both domestically and in Europe with a youthful squad.
