- Mauricio Pochettino acknowledges receiving a reassuring message from Chelsea’s owners amidst mounting pressure following consecutive Premier League defeats
- Despite significant investments exceeding £1 billion, Chelsea struggles to translate financial outlay into on-field success under Pochettino’s leadership
Amid mounting pressure following consecutive Premier League defeats, Mauricio Pochettino revealed on Tuesday that he had received a reassuring message from Chelsea’s owners.
The Argentine manager admitted to receiving a “very good text” from the club’s owners as scrutiny intensified after Chelsea’s recent setbacks.
After suffering a disheartening 4-2 loss to Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, which came on the heels of a heavy 4-1 defeat against Liverpool, Chelsea now finds themselves positioned 11th in the league standings.
Despite significant investments exceeding £1 billion since Todd Boehly’s takeover in May 2022, Chelsea has struggled to translate their financial outlay into on-field success.
Last season, the club’s disappointing 12th-place finish marked their lowest league standing since 1994, and the current campaign has seen them secure just nine league victories under Pochettino’s leadership, his inaugural season at the helm.
Amidst the tumultuous period, Pochettino’s acknowledgement of the supportive communication from Chelsea’s ownership provides a glimmer of encouragement as the club navigates through a challenging phase.
