“I may leave Chelsea on June 30th” – Chelsea man reveals his possible next club after suffering at Chelsea
Atletico Madrid is a potential destination for Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Stamford Bridge at the end of current season, according to reports.
According to Spanish publication Todo Fichajes, Diego Simeone’s future appears to be somewhat in doubt ahead of the summer, and Pochettino has previously been contacted by Atletico officials.
According to Todo Fichajes, Simeone has requested a number of high-profile additions to bolster his Atletico team. It’s possible that this will prove to be too costly for the team to fulfill his goals, in which case Pochettino is reportedly being considered as the La Liga powerhouses’ backup plan.
Pochettino to leave Chelsea for Atletico Madrid?
It would be interesting to see the reaction of Chelsea fans to this news as it finally looks like Pochettino is starting to turn things around for the team, who have just beaten Tottenham 2-0 and West Ham 5-0 in their last two games to rise up to 7th in the Premier League table.
While this is still a long way from what most CFC fans would expect from their club, it is at least perhaps a sign that this long-term project built around talented young players is finally heading in the right direction after such an inconsistent campaign.
Pochettino has, however, also suffered some bad results this term, losing 5-0 to Arsenal recently, and losing home games against the likes of Brentford and Wolves, with many of the club’s expensive purchases failing to really deliver on their potential so far.
Many Chelsea fans would probably be open to seeing Pochettino move on and be replaced by someone else, but it also remains to be seen who’d be willing to take a gamble on this job right now when it’s certainly not as tempting as it once would have been.
