Despite enduring a challenging run of form, Chelsea’s manager Mauricio Pochettino continues to enjoy the backing of his players, according to sources at talkSPORT. The team, currently sitting in 12th place in the Premier League table, suffered a 2-0 defeat against Everton in their latest outing.
Pochettino, who took charge in the summer, remains focused on the long-term project of reviving Chelsea’s fortunes, despite their recent struggles. The Argentine manager has faced criticism, having lost seven out of 16 Premier League games since his appointment. Notably, owner Todd Boehly is not considering another managerial change at this point.
Despite a significant investment of £1 billion in the squad over the last three transfer windows, Chelsea’s performance in 2023 has been less than stellar. Among the 17 ever-present top-flight teams, Chelsea holds the lowest points tally of 39 during the calendar year.
Pochettino, appointed after the departure of Frank Lampard, has faced challenges in living up to expectations, boasting a record of eight wins, four draws, and seven defeats in all competitions. The manager was heavily supported in the summer transfer window, with Chelsea breaking the Premier League transfer record to acquire Moises Caicedo for £115 million.
