After six straight wins, coach sacked: Chelsea owner's surprising move!

Shri0001

It's been two years since Chelsea changed ownership, but time hasn't brought management experience to the Chelsea owner. From the start, various peculiar decisions led to a €1 billion transfer investment going to waste. Now, the Chelsea management has once again made a surprising move, leaving everyone puzzled. So what exactly has happened to Chelsea this time?

At the beginning of this season, Chelsea's poor performance was evident. Everyone was calling for Pochettino to be sacked, as he had led the €1 billion investment Chelsea to a tenth-place ranking, which was unacceptable to everyone. However, the Chelsea management at that time chose to ignore these opinions and insisted on keeping Pochettino as the coach. Then things took a turn.

In the final stages of the season, when Chelsea was expected to hover around tenth place, they rallied under Pochettino's coaching and won the last six league matches. Coupled with slip-ups from other opponents, Chelsea successfully climbed up the table, finishing sixth and returning to European competition. According to statistics, aside from Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Chelsea earned the most points in the 2024 league season. Just when everyone thought Pochettino's position was finally secure and the management's trust was paying off, the Chelsea management suddenly announced Pochettino's departure, leaving everyone puzzled.

Pochettino's dismissal caught everyone off guard. Some people couldn't understand the management's decision. If they were going to sack the coach, why not do it during the worst period under Pochettino's coaching? Instead, they waited until the team's performance improved before sacking him. Isn't this a peculiar move? Currently, there are many explanations for Pochettino's dismissal. Some believe that while Pochettino's final performance was commendable, looking at the entire season, finishing sixth with a €1 billion investment is hardly satisfactory. Others speculate that conflicts between Pochettino and the management over transfers led to his departure.

Is this what they call settling scores after the fact?

I thought Pochettino would redeem himself, but in the end, he still had to leave.....

This kind of tricky operation is indeed unbelievable, only Americans can do such things. Judging from Chelsea's investment and the goals at the beginning of the season, there is no doubt that Chelsea has also failed this season. However, compared with the mid-season or even the previous season, Chelsea has also achieved a good ending. Remember, even Manchester United, who shouted the loudest, is only in eighth place, which is worse than Chelsea. Since the senior Enzo was injured, Chelsea's performance has been getting better and better. It is also a winning streak that laid the foundation for participating in European competitions next season. Even the sixth-place position in the Premier League can earn more money. According to reason, Pochettino, who has sorted out the team, will not be fired, because the team is performing better and better, rather than collapsing at the end of the season. So, when the team is still going up, and still being fired, then there must be internal conflicts within the team. Either the players don't want to play under Pochettino anymore, or there are conflicts between the boss and Pochettino. From the current news, it seems that the relationship between Pochettino and the players is still very good. Otherwise, they would not have been actively trying to score points at the end of the season. So, the only possibility of being fired is that they disagree with the boss's philosophy. Combined with the results during Enzo's injury, it is estimated that the probability is mainly related to the use of Enzo and other big-name players. However, I think the high-level management of Chelsea is a bit like lifting a stone and smashing its own feet. The team finally showed a positive and upward trend at the end of the season, and then fired the head coach and started over. By then, it might be another chaotic season, and then it will fall into endless rebuilding. In fact, Pochettino will not lack opportunities. Currently, Manchester United, ranked ninth, seems to be interested in him. So, I am really looking forward to Pochettino leading Manchester United to fiercely beat the chaotic Chelsea next season.

It's just to avoid being criticized. It seems heartless to fire someone when things are going badly...

Chelsea has always been quite magical as a team. The time I felt annoyed with Chelsea was after the arrival of Mourinho. I remember after Mourinho resigned from Real Madrid, Chelsea was interested in him. Mourinho and Chelsea have a history together. Back in the early 21st century, Mourinho moved from Porto to Chelsea and helped them win two league titles. At that time, it seemed almost impossible to snatch the league title from Arsenal and Manchester United, but Mourinho managed to do it. Later, Chelsea encountered problems, and coincidentally, Mourinho resigned from Real Madrid. Chelsea brought Mourinho to the club. Mourinho built a championship team, but the Chelsea bosses are truly enigmatic. Due to Mourinho's poor performance, they ousted him. Later, Conte took over from Mourinho, and Chelsea won the league title. The Chelsea bosses simply don't understand the concept of giving coaches more time, they always seek immediate results. Of course, all bosses are like this, they hire you to create profits, not to nurture you. What they want is immediate and substantial profits. Such actions by British clubs are no longer surprising. Apart from local fans, some people who idolize foreign cultures are also displeased with the owners' decisions. Because of these actions, Chelsea has created some animosity. Let's see how Chelsea proceeds. Simply firing coaches won't lead them to the top of the world.
