Pochettino’s future at Chelsea after defeat to Newcastle United

Popular football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stated that there is no pressure on Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.

This comes after the Blues suffered another embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.

So far Chelsea have won only four of 13 matches this season.

Despite Pochettino’s rather sluggish start in the Stamford Bridge dugout, Romano said his position at the club is not a concerning one.

Taking to his YouTube channel, he reported: “The feedback I’m getting from the Chelsea side is still the same. They trust Mauricio Pochettino, they decided to go for him because they know he’s the right man for the project, they know it’s going to take time, this is something that the manager is always repeating in public, but also in private in his conversations with the board.

He’s not at risk at this point, Chelsea still trust him.

“It’s a young team, they need some time. Obviously, Chelsea want results as soon as possible. Pochettino keeps repeating that – it’s not just about the long-term project but it’s about the winning mentality. It’s about winning trophies.

“He’s not at risk at this point, Chelsea still trust him. No changes at all.”
