List of 6 Chelsea players who are happy with Pochettino sacking
Following the dismissal of former manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea is poised for a new chapter under Enzo Maresca.
Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin recently expressed his belief that some of the team’s loan players will have a big impact on the starting lineup.
Many players, according to Pat Nevin, will be relieved that Mauricio Pochettino is leaving because it will provide them a chance to establish themselves under the next management.
Two loan players who Pat Nevin mentioned as perhaps receiving opportunities under the new manager are Ian Maatsen and Armando Broja.
Raheem Sterling would not have been happy with his supporting position under Pochettino, according to Pat Nevin as well.
Omari Hutchinson, Cesare Casadei and Andrey Santos are some the other Chelsea loan stars who had impressive spells away at the club, hoping to force their way into the team back in the Chelsea first team.
Assessing what players might fancy their chances with Pochettino gone, Nevin told Metro.co.uk via Spin Genie: “The vast majority of players not in the team have been injured.
“You can’t tell who would be relieved. If Poch had everyone fit for the whole of the season, I’d be able to give you six names on the top of my head because they weren’t starting every week.
“A player like Raheem would feel as though he wasn’t a major player for Pochettino lately but he won’t be too upset because that’s not his personality. It will only be players sent out on loan that will now think, ‘Good I’ve got an excellent chance of being part of the team next season’.
“Footballers are selfish and they have to be successful, that’s the deal. It’s the opposite of my personality generally but it’s also human nature and needed in football.”
