Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino still has the full support of the club’s co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.

That is according to a report from The Telegraph.

Chelsea have made a dreadful start to the new season under Mauricio Pochettino, taking just five points from their first six Premier League fixtures.

However, The Telegraph claims that the Argentine is still being back by his bosses at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will be hoping that they can build some real momentum with a win in the west London derby against Fulham next Monday. Before then, though, they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

Todd Boehly has to continue supporting Mauricio Pochettino

Boehly and Eghbali need to keep backing Pochettino. It is way too early to even consider sacking the former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur boss.

Things can get better. He has time to turn it around, while it is also important to remember that he is missing some key players at present.

Captain Reece James has only played one game this term because of injury, while Christopher Nkunku is yet to feature at all.

The Frenchman really impressed during the Blues’ pre-season, managing to grab himself a few goals. His absence has been a huge setback for his manager.

The above is not an excuse for dropping points against the likes of Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest and being 14th in the league. Chelsea should be doing much better, but Pochettino has had a lot go against him since his return to London.
