Reports have claimed that Chelsea chiefs are seriously considering replacing Graham Potter with Mauricio Pochettino as manager.
According to 90min, the Blues have already made an approach to the 50-year-old, with it so far being turned down.
The former Spurs and PSG manager was one of the candidates to become head coach at Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel was sacked early this season.
However, the owners elected for Potter to take the reins, planning a long-term rebuild under the former Brighton man.
The patience of Todd Boehly is certainly being tested.
The form of the Blues right now is extremely concerning, with them reaching a new low last weekend.
Chelsea fell to a 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday, with the visiting side still sitting bottom of the Premier League.
This has obviously brought up questions over the future of Potter, as their form threatens to knock them out of the Champions League too.
Chelsea considering replacing Potter with Pochettino
The Stamford Bridge faithful made their feelings clear towards the manager, with their personal patience seemingly completely gone.
This perhaps explains why 90min have reported they are beginning to reconsider the role, with them making an approach for Pochettino.
The report goes on to say that Boehly will not make a decision in removing Potter from his position unless there is a plan in place for them for the future.
It has continued to be claimed that the manager does have the backing of the owners to turn things around, with them remaining understanding regarding injuries and time required to get new signings embedded.
The only likely way the manager turns things round with the fanbase is by completing a comeback against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League when they visit Stamford Bridge in a few weeks’ time.
After the 1-0 loss in Germany last week, it will require one of their best displays of the campaign to secure the victory.
