Beaten in the League Cup final against Liverpool, 11th in the Premier League and on a run of just one victory in five games, Chelsea are at their worst. The days go by and the London club is getting closer to the bottom of the table than to European places. And inevitably, the first name responsible is that of Mauricio Pochettino. Todd Boehly, the boss of the Blues, has nevertheless maintained confidence in his Argentine coach, but the future of the former Tottenham coach is increasingly threatened.

While Chelsea were not expected to make a final decision before next season, the management of the Blues is already starting to prepare for the future and is not avoiding any scenario. Particularly if the blue club were to drop drastically in the rankings. And according to the latest information from Guardianthe management of the London club is now ready to part ways with him if the situation gets worse, even if the Argentine manager would have the support of the locker room.

Two nice names to replace Mauricio Pochettino

Indeed, Chelsea have already identified two names to replace the 52-year-old manager at the head of their team. Ruben Amorim, leader of the Portuguese Liga with Sporting Portugal, and Roberto De Zerbi, who still performs with Brighton in the Premier League, are high on the Blues’ shortlist for their new coach. One of the two managers could find themselves on the bench at Stamford Bridge next season.

The Guardian specifies that Ruben Amorim could be ready to start discussions with the London management to take the reins of Chelsea, but Liverpool are actively keeping an eye on him to take over from Jürgen Klopp. Roberto De Zerbi could leave Brighton at the end of the season after his hard work at the head of the Seagulls. Several clubs would also be involved, including FC Barcelona. Chelsea will face competition to replace Mauricio Pochettino.
