Chelsea's sudden announcement of the dismissal of Pochetino shocked European football once again, and also caused dissatisfaction among Blues fans. After all, although Pochetino had a bad start when he was in charge of Chelsea, the team was getting better after more than half a season. At the end of the season, Pochetino led Chelsea to win five consecutive victories, jumped to the sixth place in the Premier League, and successfully won the European qualification of next season. Chelsea also finished second in the Carling Cup and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It is amazing that such sincerity has not touched the leader of the "Blue Army".
Pochettino has been terminated by three clubs in advance. According to the latest news of the British media Guardian, the real reason why Chelsea fired Pochetino was to find an obedient manager. The club wanted to sell the youth training stars Gallagher and Charlotte, but Pochetino firmly refused. Moreover, Pochettino hopes that the team will introduce experienced players in the summer window, but the Chelsea executives are more willing to continue to "scratch the lottery" on young players, which makes the differences between the two sides more serious.
This season, European football has set off a trend of dismissing head coaches. Coaches such as Harvey, Tuhel, Klopp, Mourinho, Deselby, Pochetino, etc. either announced their departure in advance or were swept out of the team. And Manchester United coach Teng Hach is also trembling. He is likely to be the next head coach to be announced to leave the team by the official. A large number of well-known head coaches have entered the free market, which also gives each team a choice.
According to the latest news of the London Standard Evening News, the odds of Chelsea's new manager, Dzerby, who is stronger than Tuhull, is the most popular candidate for the latest manager of the Blues. Tuhel once coached Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022, leading Chelsea to win the Champions League in 2021, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup in 2022. After leaving Bayern Munich, Tuhel also expressed his hope to return to the Premier League. Many media speculated that returning to Chelsea was what he wanted.
However, the Chelsea executives are not particularly keen on Tuhel. They have not contacted Tuhel himself, but Dezelby, who hopes to terminate his contract with Brighton in advance, is in charge. Chelsea's preference for Brighton's players and coaches can be seen from the fact that Porter, the former Brighton coach, has been in charge of Chelsea for a short period of 7 months, and many Brighton players, such as Kaicedo, Cukurelia, Robert Sanchez, have also been recruited to play for Chelsea at a high price. Some people joked that Porter, the owner of Chelsea, should not have bought Chelsea but Brighton.
With the dismissal of Bochetino, it seems that the departure of Chelsea's 24-year-old English midfielder Gallagher has become a foregone conclusion. Gallagher has performed well this season, making 50 appearances on behalf of the team, contributing 7 goals and 9 assists, and worth 48 million euros. Gallagher is strong and energetic. Although his skills are slightly rough, he covers a large area of midfield, runs actively, and is good at forward insertion. He is a typical British B2B all-round midfielder. He has played in the central and avant-garde, forward and back positions this season.
After Enzo was injured in the second half of this season, Gallagher and Kesseldo partnered with each other at the back with excellent results. Gallagher's style of fierce, tireless and hard working is very popular with Blues fans. However, the senior management of Chelsea Football Club did not like Gallagher and wanted to sell him for transfer fee since last year.
According to Romano, Gallagher's contract with Chelsea will end in June 2025, but so far the team has not started a conversation on the issue of contract renewal. They have been determined to clean Gallagher this summer. The Premier League Villa are the most active players in pursuit of Gallagher, and they hope to get the versatile midfielder.
