Chelsea players' stance on Pochettino

Despite the manager's uncertain future beyond the current season, the bosses at Stamford Bridge now have the upheaval task of relieving the Argentine off his duties.

According to the Evening Standard, some players are behind the coach, and sacking him could lead to unrest within the squad, which makes the decision even more complicated.

The former Tottenham Hotspur boss has constantly publicly backed his players, and it is only fair they return the favour. He claims the team is in a process and will get better with time.

Poch has managed 45 games in charge of the Blues; he has won 22, drawn nine, and lost 14. He has averaged 1.47 points per game in the league; only Graham Potter has had worse stats in the last 20 years.

The club is on course to miss out in Europe for the second consecutive season, which could affect sponsorships and finances after over £1 billion was spent on transfers in two years.
