Two Premier League rivals tracking Mauricio Pochettino if he gets Chelsea sack

Mauricio Pochettino not short of options if he gets sacked by Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino and his future at Chelsea is under scrutiny and loads of uncertainty. Despite some ups and downs this season, there’s talk that he could be on thin ice. But if the Blues decide to give him the boot, he won’t be without options.

According to exclusive intel from TEAMtalk, a couple of unnamed Premier League rivals have their eye on Pochettino’s situation. They’re keeping tabs on him, ready to swoop in if he becomes available. It’s no surprise, really – Pochettino’s got a solid track record, and he could be a real asset to any club.

Pochettino arrived at Stamford Bridge last summer amid a bit of chaos. Chelsea had already shown the door to two managers the season before, so they were playing it safe with Poch by giving him a shorter contract. Fast forward to now, and it’s been a mixed bag for the Blues under his leadership. Mixed bag or not, there’s so much optimism under Poch at the moment.

Sure, they’ve had some cracking wins, but there’ve been some shockers too. That 5-0 drubbing by Arsenal last month was a real wake-up call, showing just how far off Chelsea are from challenging for titles again. But despite the ups and downs, Pochettino’s still got a shot at steering Chelsea to European football next season.

However, there’s some tension brewing behind the scenes, mate. Pochettino’s feeling a bit hard done by the UK media, and there’s been a bit of a breakdown in communication between him and the board. If things don’t improve, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him consider his options elsewhere.

But here’s some absolute facts for you – Chelsea should really be backing Pochettino. The team is young and in need of his guidance. If they decide to part ways with the Argentine tactician, it’ll be more Chelsea’s loss than his. After all, he’s got the experience and know-how to take this team to greater heights.

At the end of the season, Chelsea bigwigs will have more than just a word with Pochettino to decide his fate. If they decide to give him the chop, don’t expect him to be twiddling his thumbs for long. There are a couple of Prem clubs lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce if Pochettino becomes available.
