Chelsea eyeing up highly-rated Liverpool target as Mauricio Pochettino replacement

Reports suggest that Chelsea are considering Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochettino if the current manager departs at the end of the season.

Pochettino’s tenure at Stamford Bridge has been disappointing, with Chelsea facing a trophyless season and sitting ninth in the Premier League.

The team’s poor performances have raised concerns among fans. While Pochettino is not solely to blame, Chelsea’s owners may explore a managerial change for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign, with Amorim emerging as a candidate according to the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

Chelsea’s interest in Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim is evident, especially as he’s been sought after by other clubs as well.

Amorim recently held discussions with West Ham and Liverpool during his visit to London this week.

While Liverpool had been linked with Amorim, they seem to be pursuing other options, with Arne Slot being a reported target. This development could clear the way for Chelsea to pursue Amorim, especially if they decide to part ways with Pochettino.

Chelsea’s decision-makers are likely to wait until the end of the season before making any moves, and their recent heavy defeat to Arsenal could further undermine Pochettino’s position.
