Journalist Ben Jacobs has been discussing whether Chelsea are about to sack another manager or not.
Mauricio Pochettino just isn’t doing it at Chelsea this season and questions are being asked. Certain parts of the Chelsea fan base, large parts in fact, are even calling for him to be sacked and have been calling for that for a long time now.

Chelsea’s results have just not been good enough and neither is the current league position, and for me, Pochettino is just not a good enough tactical manager to be in charge at Chelsea right now, unfortunately.
But will he be sacked?
Well, Jacobs believes that there is a good chance that not only will Pochettino last out the rest of this season, but last out next season as well!
Surprised to hear that? Me too. Jacobs wrote it today in his exclusive column for my own website, SPTC.
Jacobs said: “I understand Chelsea’s owners are in a four-window plan, and this summer is the last of it. They feel the squad is better judged next season. This is why the goal is to appraise Pochettino in the off-season and why the club are ‘succession planning’ rather than actively interviewing names.
“We have seen how the owners react to results, but the aim has always been to wait until the end of the season. It still wouldn’t surprise me if Pochettino is given next season to try and turn things around making the first ten games extremely important.”
