Pochettino's departure is particularly remarkable because he led the team to five consecutive victories in the final stage of his coaching at Chelsea, helping the team rank from the middle to sixth, and successfully won a European seat. However, this achievement failed to keep his position. -
The fans and the management reacted differently to the decision. Some fans expressed their dissatisfaction and confusion with the management of the club, believing that frequent replacement of the coach is not conducive to the long-term stability and development of the team. -
Pochettino's departure has also triggered discussions about who will succeed him as the new manager. The names of coaches such as Mourinho have been widely mentioned.

Chelsea have changed managers frequently in recent years, which to some extent reflects the challenges of the club in seeking stable results and tactical system. However, frequent manager changes may also have a negative impact on the overall development of the team and player morale.

Disagreements with the club's senior management ： Recruitment strategy Pochettino and the senior management of Chelsea Football Club have differences on the recruitment strategy. The owner of the club, Burley, hopes to raise funds by selling some key players, while Pochetino insists on retaining the core team to maintain the stability and combat effectiveness of the team. This divergence is particularly evident in the recruitment market, resulting in the team's actions in the transfer market and Pochettino's expectations. Tactical concept Pochettino's tactical concept emphasizes the overall control of the coaching team over the team. He believes that only the coaching team can develop the most suitable tactical play method for the team. However, the senior management of Chelsea Football Club believes that football is not only a matter for the coaching team, but also closely related to the contributions of players and experts. This difference in concept led to the gradual marginalization of Pochettino's position in the team. -
Team achievements and performance : Although Pochetino led the team to five consecutive victories at the end of the season, helping the team to win the sixth place in the league and qualify for the European game next season, his coaching performance at Chelsea did not meet the expectations of the club as a whole. The poor performance of the team in some key matches, such as the defeat in the final of the League Cup and the semi-final of the FA Cup, has become the trigger for Pochetino's dismissal. -
Player management and morale : Chelsea's squad is luxurious, but some English players have not made obvious progress under Pochettino, even regressed. This may have something to do with Pochettino's tactical arrangement and player management, leading to a decline in the players' trust and respect for the coach. -
Influence of frequent change of command Since the consortium led by Burley acquired Chelsea Club in May 2022, Chelsea has experienced the change of four managers. This frequent change of managers not only affects the team's tactical system and development direction, but also has a negative impact on the morale of players and the cohesion of the team. Pochettino, as one of the managers, was also affected by this frequent change of managers.
