Chelsea's performance this season has fallen far short of expectations! The struggles in the Premier League, as well as inconsistent performances in various cup competitions, have put the giants under immense pressure. Mauricio Pochettino, the Argentine manager who has coached at Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, is also on the cusp.
According to the London Evening Standard, the Chelsea board has given manager Mauricio Pochettino an ultimatum that he will have to face the fate of being sacked if he fails to lead the team to European qualification this season!
It is clear that the Chelsea board is unhappy with the current state of the squad and believes that the investment in the squad has been taken seriously enough and that the existing squad should be able to guarantee a higher achievement. In the meeting with Mauricio Pochettino, the board made it clear that the minimum goal for the team is to get a ticket to next season's European competitions, whether it is the Champions League, Europa League or Europa League.
Despite Pochettino's poor results, Chelsea don't want to change managers easily, as they signed a two-year contract last summer, and if Pochettino were sacked now, Chelsea could have to pay more than £10 million in compensation, which is a big expense.
Facing pressure from the board, Pochettino will need to find a solution to the problem for the rest of the season, improve the team's performance and ensure that the team can meet the goals set by the board and beyond. Because it's not just about Chelsea, it's about whether he has the chance to continue managing the big clubs in the future, and the Argentine manager has been unable to produce a convincing report card since leaving Tottenham.
At present, in 23 rounds of Premier League matches, Chelsea has 9 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses, accumulating only 31 points, ranking 11th in the league, 15 points away from the Champions League zone and 13 points away from the Europa League zone.
As the season progresses, the future of Pochettino and Chelsea is uncertain. If he can lead the team to achieve his goals, he will not only be able to keep his position, but also bring new hope to the team. However, if he fails, he will have to face the fate of leaving Stamford Bridge.
