At the moment, nobody is referring to Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea as a sacking – everyone is reporting it as a mutual agreement.
So you’d imagine that it was both sides that led to this departure. However, you can’t help but wonder if Pochettino was pretty much really left without a choice in the end. He clearly wanted more of a say in player sales and departures, but that was clearly never going to happen. So what choice did he have left come the end?
Sources: Players are ‘really p***** off’ at Pochettino departure – Source close to players says ‘circus continues’
The players clearly love him, at least in general. Midfielder Moises Caicedo is the latest to react to the deparutre by posting a message to the Argentine on Instagram.
“What a person, what a coach”

Caicedo: “Mister, It was a pleasure. I wish you all the best for the future. What a person, what a coach!”
You can feel his disappointment in these words.
