Mauricio Pochettino expressed his unwavering commitment to Chelsea, stating that he has no intention of leaving. He also believes that the fans’ affection for him cannot be surpassed by any potential new manager.
While Chelsea was playing against Brentford, a group of opposing fans expressed their disapproval against Pochettino by jeering at him and even chanting for the removal of the current Chelsea manager, suggesting that he be replaced by the former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho.
However, as they approach their upcoming home encounter against Newcastle on Monday, Pochettino’s team now holds the eleventh position in the league standings. It appears quite likely that they will not qualify for European competitions for the second consecutive season.
The 52-year-old was keen to underline that the current Chelsea group he took over is different from the ones that achieved major victories, such as the Champions League titles in 2012 and 2021, over the past 21 years.
“Today marks a distinct project,” he stated, as cited by The Standard.
“Chelsea has undergone a transformation.” If you attempt to evaluate us by examining the current circumstances and drawing comparisons to Chelsea’s past, it is highly unlikely that anyone will achieve success. The fans will not develop a greater affection for any other coach, even me. This is a novel undertaking, and it is imperative that everyone comprehend it.
When questioned about the possibility of resigning as manager, an exasperated Pochettino firmly responded: “Absolutely not.” What is the reason? Absolutely not.
