The Blues’ 3-2 Premier League victory over Newcastle on Monday night saw the return to the starting lineup of Jackson, Cucurella, and Fernandez. Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea got their 12th goal of the season from Jackson, who was on target. The first time Cucurella had been on the squad since December was during this time.

When Chelsea face Leicester in Saturday’s FA Cup match, they’ll be looking to build on their win against Newcastle. The Blues will advance to the competition’s semi-finals if they win.

Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement as Chelsea manager: Fabrizio Romano gives important information on Blues icon

Despite investing оver £1 billiоn оn new acquisitiоns since Tоdd Bоehly arrived at Stamfоrd Bridge, Pоchettinо has taken heat this seasоn fоr Chelsea’s mid-table Premier League perfоrmance. Even thоugh Chelsea have had sоme great wins and perfоrmances, a terrible game is always just arоund the cоrner.

After Monday’s 3-2 home win over Newcastle United, which was fueled by summer signing Cole Palmer, Chelsea climbed to 39 points for the season.

Still, they’re 16 points outside the playoff spots and sit in eleventh place, eight points behind sixth-place Manchester United (who have a game in hand) and behind the top four.

Sоme sҺоcking rumоrs Һаve circulаteԀ in recent weeks, suggesting tҺаt Jоse MоurinҺо оr TucҺel, bоtҺ оf wҺоm wоn big trоpҺies witҺ CҺelseа in tҺe pаst, mаy be interesteԀ in returning tо West LоnԀоn tо replаce PоcҺettinо.

The links to Tuchel, however, have been watered down by Romano in his most recent piece for the Daily Briefing. According to the writer, Boehly and the other Blues executives are hoping to remain with Pochettino, and Tuchel’s painful departure from Chelsea in September 2022 makes a return doubtful.Romano acknowledged that there have been rumors that Thomas Tuchel, who is currently the manager of Bayern Munich, may be interested in returning to Chelsea after his current contract expires.

I don’t have any solid information regarding a return to Chelsea at this time, but we do know that Tuchel will be seeking for a new club. Although I prefer not to speculate and have not heard anything regarding this, what I can state is that Tuchel’s departure from Chelsea in 2022 was certainly not a “simple” parting. It would appear that returning would likewise be challenging.

The Blues will “remain with Pochettino””And as mentioned earlier, Chelsea will continue to support Mauricio Pochettino until the end of the season, at which point they will evaluate the situation.”

The German heavyweights are having trouble keeping up with Bayer Leverkusen, who are currently undefeated in the Bundesliga title race, and Tuchel has already committed to depart Bayern at the end of the year.

Tuchel allegedly had “unfinished business” in the Premier League, according to German media, which is where the rumors about a Chelsea return originated.

The 2021 Champions League victor may rather sign with an English adversary than return to Chelsea. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is threatening to fire Erik ten Hag as manager of Manchester United, and he is reportedly one of several applicants for the position.

However, Stephen Warnock, a sports commentator for Sky Sports, believes this is not the way to go. He said, “For me, no, no.” in response to a question regarding the possibility of Mourinho’s return to Chelsea. You must put it behind you. From a nostalgic standpoint, I believe returning for a third spell would be fantastic for him, but I don’t believe it’s a good match.

You have to go forward, Warnock said, adding that that chapter of Chelsea’s history is over. On such a team, will his managerial approach be effective? It could work. Perhaps this will inspire the team. Still, I believe you should give Pochettino a shot.
