With hopes of finishing in the top four, Chelsea decides to fire Mauricio Pochettino following Newcastle’s defeat.

Following his team’s crushing at the hands of Newcastle, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is facing mounting pressure; the former Tottenham manager’s tenure at Stamford Bridge has yet to take off.

Despite mounting pressure to improve results and performances, Chelsea is expected to stick with head coach Mauricio Pochettino, according to recent sources. Following the international break, the team had a challenging away performance against Newcastle, and the manager was forced to watch from the stands due to a touchline ban.

Despite the Magpies’ injury problems, the home team took the lead after 13 minutes of the first half thanks to the return of Alexander Isak. The halfway point of the contest saw Raheem Sterling continue his recent run of form and tie the score for the Blues.

However, the hosts took complete control of the match after the hour mark thanks to two quick goals, thus the second half didn’t go as planned. Joelinton increased Chelsea’s advantage in less than a minute after Jamaal Lascelles gave his team the lead, making it harder for Chelsea to get a victory.

Captain Reece James received two yellow cards for time wastage and another for a clip on Anthony Gordon, which made it even more difficult. But the former Everton player wasn’t done with his contribution there; he continued the anguish in the final ten minutes.

Chelsea had a dismal start to the season after everyone seemed to believe that they had turned the corner after their strong performances and outcomes against teams like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham. The squad is now 12 points behind Aston Villa in the battle for a top four finish as a result of that outcome.

“Being there was incredibly difficult. Speaking from the directors box during the game, Pochettino stated, “To be honest, I don’t want to be there anymore.” It’s really annoying to be there and make an effort to interact with the coaching staff. Because you are unable to express your emotions, it was quite difficult. Extremely disappointed and irritated with the performance as well. The game never had any connection to us. The team never had the proper enthusiasm to go out and compete, even when we scored. It was a moment to go.”

The Blues are still incredibly far from being finished, which has reignited the debate about the manager’s role. Fabrizio Romano, on the other hand, claims that the Blues will stick with him. He stated on his YouTube channel that “Mauricio Pochettino is trusted by Chelsea, and they have received the same feedback.”

They think he’s the best person for this job. Since they are a young team, they require time. Right now, his employment is safe.” It remains to be seen if things can improve once more or if that pressure will just increase.
