Chelsea make contact with 50-yr-old as they seek Potter replacement

Posted by

Chelsea are eyeing up potential replacements for Graham Potter and they have reportedly made contact with the former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino.

A report from Football Insider claims that Chelsea have already spoken to the Argentine manager regarding a potential move.

Potter’s long-term future at the club is under serious threat following a poor run of results. The former Brighton manager has been backed heavily in the transfer market but Chelsea find themselves 10th in the league table.

A club of their stature is expected to push for the major trophies and it remains to be seen whether Potter can help them climb up the table in the coming weeks.

Chelsea will be expected to secure European football for the next season and missing out on Champions League qualification would come as a major blow for the London club.

Chelsea have been spending unsustainably since they take over and they will need the Champions league revenues to boost their finances.

Chelsea are currently 14 points adrift of London rivals Tottenham who are in 4th place. Securing a top-four finish will be a massive challenge for them this season.

Meanwhile, Pochettino has been out of a job since leaving Paris Saint-Germain and he could prove to be a quality acquisition.

Pochettino did well in England with Tottenham and the 50-year-old helped them challenge for the league title and the Champions League trophy during his time at the club.

It remains to be seen whether the former Tottenham manager is keen on taking over at Stamford Bridge in the summer. He has shown his quality with Southampton and Spurs in the past and the opportunity to manage a big club like Chelsea could prove to be an attractive proposition.

  1. It’s also been reported he turned them down. Let’s forget the injuries. As for being backed with signings they have only been there five minutes most are young with little experience. Boehly said from day one said top four or trophies not necessary this season. This isn’t Abramovich Chelsea so stop talking like he is still there.

    1. You don’t know what your talking about, the ”young player’s ” you talk about have been player top level European football, the fact Chelsea are gonna lose all the revenue from CL football next season , Potter is outta his depth & Boehly can be replaced by Clearlake who are the owners Boehly only has a 20% stake , Boehly is living in cuckoo land and so are you

      1. Boehly doesn’t have a clue how the game is played. Graham Potter is a total pathetic English manager. To have an idiot like Potter in charge whilst making personal claims of mental illness is inexcusable for Potter. Potter should have been sacked 2 months ago, he is totally out of his league at Chelsea. The longer Potter is in charge the closer Chelsea will face relegation to the Champuonship Division. I know and saw it at Stamford Bridge back in 1988. Sack the loser Potter. The man is mentally ill and should be put into a mental institution.

  2. Boehly slept with Potter’s wife and Potter keeps the job as long as he keeps his mouth shut. Potter will have to voluntarily resign.
    There’s nothing special about Pochettino either or any Po(nonsense). Let’s not kid ourselves, he has not won anything worthwhile. While at Spurs he wanted more money while at PSG he was out of his depth. Leave the man alone.
    Swallow hard and bring Zidane or settle for Tuchel. Something that can inject energy to the bloated toothless squad.

  3. It’s a One way street i never had zidane speak English, so how is going to communicate with players then.

  4. Pochettino is good, plays beautiful football but comes short on lucky with winning major competitions. If Chelsea cant get back Tuchel, then go for Mourinho or Zidane

  5. Same fans that as been supporting this club.
    I used to enjoy this club the football,
    .. I wish abromovich was still there

  7. It would be better to try pochetinho for Enrique I remember how he usesd to fail at barca with the best players in world football
    What’s he really going to do for the blues?
    And above all when Chelsea gets a manager who can so some good things let them learn to be patient like other clubs do

    Boely you did wrong to sack Tuchel it won’t take you less than four decades to get a manager of his pedigree
    Am very disappointed
