Mauricio Pochettino is going through a very difficult first season at Stamford Bridge. Ninth in the Premier League, the Blues are still far from European qualification. After the disaster against Arsenal last night (5-0), it was difficult to find defenders of the Chelsea manager. However, Rio Ferdinand acted as a shield for the Argentine coach. At the end of the match, the former Manchester United defender made his case for Pochettino, asking for time for the former Spurs manager: “I think it would be really unfair (if Pochettino was sacked), given that they have invested and recruited all this young talent.”

“The potential they have under the roof is phenomenal. They have a fantastic academy that is working very well and then to have brought in Mauricio and just given him one season, integrating all of that at the same time and still getting results at the same time, expecting him to almost expect miracles, I think he (Boehly) needs to give him time. He needs time to implement all these things, not just the tactics, but also the culture and everything else, and with so many new players you can’t expect these things to be achieved overnight on the next day “he continued at the microphone of TNT Sports.
