Chelsea is unsure about the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino following a challenging first season.

Chelsea are currently facing a difficult decision regarding the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino. Despite their recent 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, The Telegraph reports that Pochettino still has support within the club. However, no final decision has been made on whether he will remain in charge beyond this season. Pressure is mounting on Pochettino, but there is recognition that he has been working under challenging circumstances. Frustrations over certain decisions and the club’s transfer policy have added to the difficulties. Chelsea acknowledges that Pochettino cannot be solely blamed for the team’s struggles as he was not responsible for building such a young squad.

In other news, Liverpool may face competition from Bayern Munich for the services of Feyenoord boss Arne Slot. The Independent reveals that Bayern’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, is set to leave the club at the end of the season. Liverpool has identified Slot as their preferred candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp. However, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also interested in Slot, making him a potential contender for several top managerial positions this summer. Liverpool has been considering various managers, including Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon. Their early favorite, Xabi Alonso, decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.

The Athletic provides an update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Arne Slot. The club made an opening bid of £7.7 million, which was rejected by Feyenoord. Negotiations are ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the final figure will be. Disparities in valuations often occur during transfer negotiations, so Liverpool may need to increase their offer to secure the manager’s services.

Meanwhile, West Ham is searching for a potential replacement for manager David Moyes, should he leave at the end of the season. The Mirror reports that after speaking with Ruben Amorim, West Ham has now turned their attention to Julen Lopetegui, the former Wolves manager. Lopetegui left Wolves just before the start of the current Premier League season due to behind-the-scenes issues. Moyes has previously stated that he will wait until the end of the season to decide his future. However, with West Ham’s recent poor form and elimination from the Europa League, the chances of his departure have increased. West Ham officials held talks with Amorim, but it is speculated that the manager used these discussions to put pressure on Liverpool, who were also considering him as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp.
