In the midst of fan frustration following Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final, Mauricio Pochettino’s job at the helm of Chelsea is secure, according to multiple sources. Despite a growing outcry from the fan base, the club remains resolute in its support for the head coach.
After the disappointing loss, traveling supporters expressed their discontent, prompting players like Thiago Silva to engage with fans in an attempt to pacify the situation. Pochettino, while acknowledging the defeat, insisted that the tie is far from decided.
The club’s management, having learned from past mistakes, has opted to maintain its backing for Pochettino. The Argentine coach has faced numerous challenges, including a string of injuries that have impacted the team’s performance. Nevertheless, Chelsea remains in contention in both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, set to face Aston Villa in the latter at the end of the month.
Despite recent struggles in the Premier League, Chelsea aims to turn the tide, having secured victories against Crystal Palace and Luton Town. The upcoming match against Fulham carries added significance in their pursuit of redemption. As the season unfolds, the club will reevaluate Pochettino’s performance, maintaining confidence in his ability to lead Chelsea forward.
