Chelsea manger Mauricio Pochettino has responded to the claims that he ignored the club’s co-owner Todd Boehly after Chelsea’s Carabao Cup final defeat against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday.

A highlight from the finals showed the nkment Pochettino went to receive his runners-up medal.

Addressing the claims at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup tie with Leeds United on Wednesday, Pochettino stated that there was no rift between him and the club’s owners, saying: “Yes [I feel the support of the board].

“After the game, Todd sent a really nice message.

“We were talking and I said hello when I saw them in the stadium. I met Behdad [Eghbali, co-owner] after and we were talking, we were talking.“We were sharing our opinion of the game, we were talking about the opportunity we missed to win a trophy because we played really well in 90 minutes. We were not clinical enough.”
