“Flying to London this month to speak with Chelsea” – as Chelsea board open talks to sign 39-years-old manager to replace Pochettino
There are rumors that the Chelsea board has already decided who they want to take Mauricio Pochettino’s position come summertime.
Controversial recent allegations in the football community state that some players at CHELSEA have allegedly petitioned the club’s board to remove manager Mauricio Pochettino from his position. If proven true, these allegations would upend the peace and stability inside the club and raise concerns about the underlying motivations for making such a dramatic request.
But Ruben Amorim has often been named as a possible successor when it comes to candidates.
He is currently enjoying a very successful season yet again at Sporting Lisbon, and this has seen him come in for plenty of praise in his relatively short career in the game.
According to Transfer News Live Chelsea have decided that will appoint Ruben Amorim if Mauricio Pochettino leaves this summer.
Amorim has been spotted in London already this month, although it has been claimed that it was for a possible move to CHELSEA‘s rivals West Ham.
Amorim recently addressed the rumours:
“Completely, the only thing that annoys me is that they already had a replacement for me.
“That’s what got me the most upset, even today I told Viana (Hugo Viana, Sporting director of football) to calm down because it’s not like that. That’s the only thing I’ve paid attention to.”
Asked if the players are affected by the rumours, Amorim replied: “No, because it’s part of their lives. What affects the players is their own future.
“Everyone is thinking about themselves. That can interfere with the preparation of a game if they’re involved in talks with other clubs. It’s normal for players to go through that.
“When it’s the manager, they don’t think about any of that. And the manager is clearly Sporting’s manager, Sporting’s manager and only Sporting’s manager.
“And they know how much they want to win and I want to win titles for Sporting. So the work was the same, the preparation was the same and they’re clear that everyone is focused on winning titles.”
