Chelsea bosses have reportedly scheduled a meeting with manager Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season, suggesting that the Argentine is safe from the sack despite his side’s disappointing form. The Blues are stuck in the bottom half of the table after winning only five out of 16 Premier League games under their new head coach.<\/p>\n
Many fans held out hope of a dramatic turnaround after watching Graham Potter, and later Frank Lampard, splutter to a 12th-place finish last campaign. But the same problems persist, and Chelsea under Pochettino are in the very same position approaching the halfway point of the season.<\/p>\n
However, having dispensed with a number of big-name bosses in recent years, the Blues are believed to be intent on giving Pochettino a full year before coming to a final decision on whether to part company.<\/p>\n
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Chelsea boss and his superiors agreed from the start that a two-way appraisal meeting would take place at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n
