Pochettino wants to continue at Chelsea + a look at his impact on Cole Palmer

Mauricio Pochettino is waiting to have direct contacts with Chelsea over his future - it’s not easy, because unlike at some clubs where there is just one owner or one director, at Chelsea there are many people involved to make sure Pochettino is happy with the project at Stamford Bridge, and that they are happy with him.

Of course, Pochettino wants to continue - he is really convinced by what he and his coaching team can offer, and by the skills of these players. Still, the meeting will be important to understand if they’re all on the same page.

In case Chelsea and Pochettino decide to part ways, the Blues’ idea is to go for a young coach rather than an experienced coach. That’s the feeling today, that’s the current idea - to discuss with Pochettino and understand if they can continue together, which is the priority, but if they can’t agree on terms then keep an eye on young managers for Chelsea.
