Mauricio Pochettino remains active after Chelsea’s recent 4-2 defeat at home to Wolves. There are fresh calls for Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked from Chelsea.
After the Blues fell to the bottom of the table with a 4-2 defeat by Wolves at Stamford Bridge.
Thiago Silva’s wife has even called for change, furious that the Argentine has failed to get the most out of his £1billion-plus squad.
Here Express Sport looks at five options for Pochettino’s replacement Todd Boly and co.
Bayern Munich manager Xabi Alonso is currently in charge of the Bundesliga and could replace Jurgen Klopp’s former club Liverpool.
However, the Spaniard could be attracted by Chelsea’s draft, which has a number of talented young players, and the possibility of a return to England this month.
But it will be very difficult to keep him away from Germany. Alonso is expected to be the next elite manager and Chelsea will hire Pochettino or be sacked.
Jose Mourinho has made it clear he wants to return to the Premier League, although his focus is on Manchester United’s position rather than Chelsea’s.
‘The Special One’ remains a fan favorite at Stamford Bridge and if he can repeat his first two performances for the club by a third, it would be a welcome return home.
Mourinho is currently out of a job after being sacked by Roma last month, but his authoritarian approach could be just what Chelsea’s young, seemingly leadershipless side need.
Spanish icon Xavi has announced he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season after an impressive spell at Camp Nou.
Despite being seven points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid, his time in charge will be fondly remembered.
He navigated a financial minefield when he led Barcelona to the title last season and displayed an attractive style of football that left the Chelsea board calling for Pochettino’s replacement.
