Following Chelsea’s loss in the Carabao Cup final over the weekend, attention has once again turned to Mauricio Pochettino, with reports surfacing about Ruben Amorim being considered as a potential replacement for him.
The pressure on Chelsea has been mounting since the end of January, as the club seeks improved results. However, the priority has always been to finish the season with Pochettino and then evaluate the situation ahead of the summer transfer window. Managing a young squad like Chelsea’s is no easy task, as they require time to develop and gel together as a cohesive unit. Nevertheless, football is ultimately a results-driven industry, so the pressure remains.
Regarding the links to Amorim, it’s possible that he could leave Sporting Lisbon in the summer. While it’s not a certainty, he would be open to considering offers from top clubs, given his impressive track record at Sporting in recent years. Currently, there are no direct contacts between Amorim and any club, but he is well-regarded in England and could be an attractive option for teams in need of a new manager.
