Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Departure

 Chelsea Legend Unhappy with Manager Firing 


    The decision to release Mauricio Pochettino has been a shock to many of the players and coaching staff. One Chelsea legend and current academy coach took to Instagram to express his feelings about the departure. John Terry, longtime defender and team captain during their most successful era, wrote that he is "gutted" by Poch's exit. Chelsea fans share in his hope that players are not bought or sold until the next manager is selected. 

    If the sporting directors or ownership at Stamford Bridge had any sense, they would listen to the five-time EPL winner. They need to figure out the new manager's tactics and formation so they can collaborate on acquiring players who will fit their style of play. That was one of the problems all of the five managers have had in the last couple of years. They all picked up a squad arranged by the previous manager that didn't fit the formation or tactic. Also, the players couldn't stay fit. Poch was working without Nkunku, Lavia, Fofana, Colwill, Chillwell, and James the majority of the season.  

    Along with John Terry, players like Nikolas Jackson and Cole Palmer expressed their gratitude to Pochettino on social media. He brought out the best in Cole Palmer while people were doubting the impact he would have on the club. We saw the squad's potential in the last half of the season and fans were optimistic about the future. 

    I'm going to see the Blue Lions take on Wrexham in Santa Clara, CA at Levi Stadium July 24. I was excited to see Poch with the squad, but the future is in a fog now. It is a hard time to be a Chelsea fan. They won a UEFA title a few short years ago. Chelsea is back in a European tournament. The Pride of London is making comeback hungry as ever.

Chelsea Select New Manager

Chelsea Settled on Enzo Maresca © Provided by Metro      There had been much speculation about who would be replacing Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea, but they have finally come to a decision. An agreement has been reached with Leicester City to sign Enzo Maresca for 10 million pounds. While he wasn’t on the top of any short list that I’ve read over the last week, Maresca might fit perfectly into the new Sporting Directors’ plan. Who is Enzo Maresca?      Enzo Maresca is a 44-year-old Italian former player with the likes of Juventus and Sevilla. After spending some time as an assistant coach under Pellegrini at West Ham, a failed stint as manager at Parma, and assistant coach under Pep Guardiola at Man City, Maresca just led Leicester city to a Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League. There are some who have voiced concern over his short stint at Serie B club, Parma, that resulted in being sacked after a dozen or so games, but the disciple of Guardiola has promise.

What is the Problem at Chelsea?

  What is the Problem at Chelsea?      Chelsea FC has been a revolving door for managers for many years, but five managers in two years is excessive. It can be argued that some of those managers were not prepared to take on the juggernaut of expectations for a Champions League club with an astronomical budget, such as Graham Potter or Frank Lampard. However, Thomas Tuchel and Pochettino seemed to have the qualifications and support from fans for the job, yet they failed. To be fair, Tuchel led the club to their last Champions League cup and was thrown out with the dirty bathwater of the Abramovich era.      As a fan, I was really looking forward to seeing what Poch could do with a few seasons at the club. It took him five years to take Tottenham from the middle of the table to top contenders, so I expected no less for Chelsea. It appears as though Todd Boehly also hoped to give him another season after seeing the spark they've been missing during the club's five-game-winning st
