Ian Wright has now shared that he would not be too positive if he was a Chelsea fan after what Mauricio Pochettino recently said in a press conference.
He told The Kelly and Wrighty show that he was not impressed by the manager who said he believed he had to take some of his players off due to tiredness in what was their biggest game of the season.
Chelsea fell at the final hurdle as far as the EFL Cup final is concerned, with Pochettino seeming to be as upset as anyone that they had failed to win the trophy at Wembley.
The defeat only further increased his run without a major honour since managing in England, and this has seen him come in for some criticism following the game.
Wright has now claimed that one comment in particular that he heard from the manager following the game will have left him very disappointed if he was a Chelsea fan.
Wright not happy with Pochettino’s comments
He said: “In [Pochettino’s] press conference, talking about taking off players when they’re tired in a final, If I’m a Chelsea fan, I’d take that as very negative. He doesn’t know what it’s like at that stage to go all out and try to win because he’s not done that before.”
Pochettino is now facing a serious uphill battle to turn things around with both the fanbase and some figures at the club reportedly running out of patience.
It has been claimed that they are already considering a number of other candidates for the role already, with them looking both at the Premier League and across Europe for a potential new boss.
Ruben Amorim is a name who has been already mentioned as one those at the club have a long-term admiration for, and recent signs have suggested he could be open for a move away from Sporting Lisbon following his very sensational time there.
