Some on Chelsea’s board do not agree about Mauricio Pochettino’s role as boss. There is much talk about the Argentine’s job and what he will do next.
Despite having an uphill battle this year, the Blues were able to turn everything around with four successive Premier League wins. Chelsea is now sixth in the league, thanks to a new run of wins. They need just one point against Bournemouth in the last game of the 2023–24 season to get a spot in Europe. They may also finish higher in fifth place over Tottenham Hotspurs.
Chelsea is in a good spot now after beating Brighton 2-1 and Newcastle losing 3-2 to Man United. Even though fifth or sixth place isn’t quite what Chelsea aims for, it’s a big step up from their 12th place last season.
Chelsea’s board wants to carry out an assessment at the conclusion of this Premier League season, according to an article published in The Guardian. Pochettino’s future will be largely decided by this. He has the support of many key figures at Stamford Bridge. Many have backed him.

Not every board member is persuaded, though. According to the media, some people believe that Mauricio is the best candidate to lead the team through this period of transformation.
Pochettino is believed to enjoy the full backing of the players despite the uncertainties. In spite of the constant rumors over his future, many feel he will still be heading the team for the 2024–25 campaign.
Todd Boehly, a co-owner of Chelsea, recently made an appeal that Pochettino should keep leading the squad this summer.
During his speech at the Qatar Economic Forum, Boehly stressed the value of endurance. “You are assembling stuff and anticipating it to come altogether very quickly, but in actuality, anything that is truly outstanding requires some time,” he remarked. For us, tolerance was a constant consideration.
July of the previous year saw Pochettino take charge as Chelsea’s coach. In 50 games under his watch, he has so far achieved 25 victories, 11 draws, and 14 losses.

Chelsea was able to pick up 13 of the most recent 15 points from their last matches after their 5-0 loss to the Gunners on April 23. Cole Palmer, who netted 22 goals in the English Premier League this season, has served as an essential asset in their comeback.
In summary, Mauricio Pochettino’s career at Chelsea is still up in the air. It’s likely that the board’s end-of-season evaluation will figure out his fate. Despite the rumors, Pochettino’s achievements and the backing of key players and the squad indicates that he might remain in charge of Blues for the forthcoming season.
