Pochettino needs to inspire a major shift in performance from his squad, which is now in 11th position in the Premier League, if they are to guarantee European football. But, it would become more likely that there would be a change in the dugout if the former Tottenham manager is unable to accomplish this.Pochettino’s successor at Chelsea has been widely anticipated to be one of several options, including Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton and Ruben Amorim of Sporting.
