Mauricio Pochettino, the current manager of Chelsea, is facing a lot of pressure from the club and its fans. However, he has found a strong supporter in John Terry, a Chelsea legend and former player, who is urging the club's top officials to give Pochettino another chance next season.
Pochettino's first season at Stamford Bridge has been a tough one. He has had to deal with a multitude of injuries and has been tasked with building a team from a young, inexperienced squad that was put together quickly. As a result, the team currently sits at seventh place in the table and will not be bringing home any trophies this season. While this may not be considered a successful season, there have been some positive signs in recent matches.
The team's recent 2-0 victory against Tottenham and a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham have shown some promise. Even Blues chairman, Todd Boehly, has spoken highly of the team's performance in these matches. Despite questions surrounding Pochettino's future at the club, John Terry believes that he has handled a difficult situation well and hopes to see him continue on as manager.
Speaking to the Mirror, Terry expressed his support for Pochettino, saying, "I think Poch has done well. It was always going to be a challenging task from the start, considering we had a very young group of players. We also had a lot of new signings and a major overhaul of the staff. Pochettino is also new to the club, so it was a lot to take on."
Terry himself has returned to Chelsea, working with the academy teams and taking the opportunity to watch Pochettino in action. He is impressed with Pochettino's coaching style and his relationship with the players. "I have seen him work and I love the way he is with the players," Terry said. "He just needs some time to really make his mark. We have seen some improvements in the last few weeks, with the players growing into their roles and feeling like they belong at Chelsea. We just need to be patient and give him the stability he needs."
Terry also acknowledged the importance of stability in a club's success, citing Chelsea's own track record of success for the past two decades. He believes that the young squad at Chelsea has a lot of potential and with time, they can grow into their roles and help the team achieve success in the future.
The club has also scheduled a meeting to discuss Pochettino's future, but the manager himself has responded positively to Boehly's praise and is focused on preparing the team for their next match. As for Terry, he is confident that with patience and stability, Chelsea can have a successful season next year.
