A Premier League manager emerges as the leading candidate to succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.
Following Chelsea’s recent 4-2 loss to Wolves, marking the second instance of conceding four goals within a week, Pochettino delivered a scathing assessment of the team’s performance.
“I think we are all not good enough, that’s the reality,” Pochettino stated via Sky Sports. “Myself also, as the first person responsible. Of course, what we showed today was that we are not good enough. I agree, 100 percent.
“We didn’t manage the situation properly, and I don’t want to come here and say I am the best and the players are the worst – but the players have to take responsibility as I do. “We are not matching the history of the club.
We need to accept it and be critical, but we cannot give up. We have to keep working, try hard to change, take decisions to try to find things differently if it’s not working in this way, and find different solutions.”
Given the string of disappointing performances, Pochettino’s tenure at Chelsea is under scrutiny.
According to Sky Bet, Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi emerges as the front-runner to take over the managerial reins from Pochettino, with odds of 6/1.
Additionally, Girona head coach Michel Sanchez, credited with leading the Catalan club to second place in La Liga, stands at 8/1. José Mourinho, potentially returning for a third stint at Stamford Bridge, follows as the third favorite with odds of 9/1.
Elsewhere, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, and former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane share odds of 10/1.
