I thought I would be sacked after Wolves defeated us 4-2 at Stamford Bridge – Mauricio Pochetinno

Mauricio Pochettino has named the team that almost got him sacked in the current season 2023/24.

According to him, the 4-2 loss to Wolves in February 2024 made him fear he would be sacked by the Chelsea board.

The result saw the Blues drop into the bottom half of the table.

When asked if there had ever been a moment he believed he was about to be sacked, Pochettino replied: “I can be honest. I think after Wolves. Remember what happened after, also?

“I didn’t think we were going to be sacked, but it was a tough moment. That defeat at home was really tough, really tough.

“At this moment, as a coach and staff, you feel loneliness. When you feel like everyone is seeing you as if you’re guilty of something and you don’t know what’s going on.”

Chelsea has, however, hit good form recently, winning their last four matches to climb to sixth place in the Premier League ahead of the final day of the season.
