Mauricio Pochettino: Former PSG Manager Rejects Opportunity to Replace Graham Potter at Chelsea

• Mauricio Pochettino is said to have turned down an initial approach to succeed Graham Potter at Chelsea
• Potter's job is increasingly on the line, with fans growing frustrated over the poor run of form
• Pochettino has previously served as Tottenham Hotspur boss, one of Chelsea's London rivals

Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly rejected an opportunity to replace the embattled Graham Potter as Chelsea's boss.

There are growing concerns over the immediate future of Potter, with the former Brighton manager recording just two wins in his last 15 games despite heavy spending.

Potter replaced fan favourite Thomas Tuchel in early September and despite a decent start, he has found the going tough in recent times. There have been calls for the Englishman to be dismissed immediately as Chelsea languishes in 10th place.

It is understood that the new ownership at Chelsea under Todd Boehly is ready to emulate Arsenal's model and stick with Potter. He was handed a five-year contract and there is belief that the owners believe he is the ideal man to get the job done.

Pochettino approached

However, even amidst the reassurances, Football London via 90min reports that a section of Chelsea's board doesn't buy into Boehly's thinking. Pochettino has been lined up as a potential replacement, but there are talks that the Argentine has turned down an offer.

The former Spurs boss has been jobless since being sacked by PSG in the summer. He could become the third manager in recent time to manage both Chelsea and Spurs after Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte if he ever takes over at Stamford Bridge.
