Isabelle Silva has apologised for causing unrest at Chelsea with her tweet calling for manager, Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked following the 4-2 home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
On the back of losing 4-1 to Liverpool at Anfield, the Blues suffered another embarrassing defeat at Stamford Bridge to Wolves, with Matheus Cunha grabbing a hat-trick.
Thiago Silva scored a consolation goal to make it 4-2, and a few minutes later, his wife shared a post on X that the club needed a change, and the earlier, the better.
Some fans agreed to the post, while others cautioned her, claiming she is not a fan; she is the wife of a player with inside information, and such is not allowed.
