Mauricio Pochettino has left his position as Chelsea head coach by mutual consent after less than 11 months in charge.
Chelsea’s decision to part ways with the 52-year-old Argentine comes following the conclusion of an internal review into the club’s 2023-24 season performance led by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart.
In a Chelsea statement, Winstanley and Stewart said of the decision: “On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season. He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time...
Roberto di Zerbi wasn’t wanted by Bayern or Liverpool or United, so he seems like a good shout
Kieran McKenna has handled the massive egos and big money celebrity players at Ipswich well, so he’s an appropriate fit
Liz Truss is still looking for work. She spent as much time in her last job as a typical manager spends at Chelsea, and seems ideologically appropriate. Conservative football, racist, financially irresponsible

damn, what are they doing over there, pretty sure by form they were top 4 since the new year or something.
Who could they possibly replace him with? Hasn’t everyone been having an impossible job finding a new manager?
Mourinho is free
This is the question. This is insane by Chelsea.

I would give about 1% chance for McKenna to Chelsea, given that the United job might be open this summer.
To me he seemed good for Brighton, but you’ve seen my other takes so I have no idea
I saw Gianluca Di Marzio being touted as the most likely
Tuchel is the latest rumor, not even joking. Lol
That’s so funny. I love watching that club off the pitch
