There are many uncertainties surrounding the future of Mauricio Pochettino, the current manager of Chelsea Football Club. Former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand is skeptical about Pochettino's chances of remaining in charge next season. There are rumors circulating that the club's hierarchy is considering other options for the managerial position.
Despite finishing the season with five consecutive wins in the Premier League, including a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, Pochettino's future is still up in the air. The team's sixth-place finish ensures their spot in European competition next season, but whether it will be in the Europa League or the Europa Conference League depends on the outcome of the FA Cup final.
While the end of the season was promising for Chelsea, there are still doubts about Pochettino's future. There are talks of a board meeting this week to determine whether he will continue as manager. Pochettino himself could not offer any assurances about his future, despite having a pleasant dinner with chairman Todd Boehly.
Ferdinand believes that Pochettino's time at Chelsea may be coming to an end, despite the recent improvements in the team's performance. He has heard murmurs that suggest things may not end well for the Argentine. In an interview on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand expressed his belief that there could be a managerial shake-up in the near future.
When it was suggested that Pochettino has won over the fans and should be given a chance, Ferdinand remained unconvinced. He believes that the decision ultimately lies with the club's hierarchy and, based on what he has heard, Pochettino may not be staying. As a former player, Ferdinand is not confident about Pochettino's future at Chelsea.
In addition to Ferdinand's comments, there have been other reports about Pochettino's future. Rivaldo, a former player for Manchester United, has urged Pochettino to find a new club. There have also been talks of Chelsea contacting a potential replacement for Pochettino, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding his position.
Pochettino himself is unsure about what the future holds. He denies knowledge of a board meeting to discuss his future and claims to have no idea about any rumors. His staff is already on holiday and he plans to stay in London for a few more days, with his phone always on in case any developments occur.
In a separate interview with Sky Sports, Pochettino was asked about his future and replied that it is ultimately up to the owners and sporting directors of the club. There are many questions surrounding Pochettino's future at Chelsea, and only time will tell what the outcome will be.
