Jose Mourinho can returning to Chelsea to replace Pochettino

Last Sunday, Chelsea lost miserably 2-4 to Wolves at home. This is the Blues’ 10th defeat in the Premier League this season, causing them to drop to 11th place in the rankings. The opportunity to compete for a ticket to the Champions League soon ended for coach Mauricio Pochettino and his team.

During the match against Wolves, the Chelsea player was booed by the home team’s fans. To criticize Pochettino and the current boss, they chanted the names of Jose Mourinho and former boss Roman Abramovich. After the loss, Pochettino apologized to fans, but that did not ease the wave of calls for his dismissal.

Reputable European bookmaker BonusCodeBets has released the latest odds on the candidates who can replace Pochettino to take over Chelsea. Quite surprisingly, the leader is Girona coach Michel Sanchez with odds of 6/4 (bet 4 to 6). Girona this season has surprised the whole of Europe when they are in a two-horse championship race with Real Madrid.

The number 2 candidate is Roberto De Zerbi with odds of 3/1. The Italian coach’s successes at Brighton in the past few years have attracted the attention of big teams. In addition to Chelsea, De Zerbi also received interest from Liverpool and Barcelona.

Next is Mourinho, who was just fired by Roma last month. The odds of Mourinho replacing Pochettino are 4/1. If this happens, ‘The Special One’ will take over Stamford Bridge for the third time and a large number of Chelsea fans are supporting him again.

The next candidates are Xabi Alonso, Zinedine Zidane and Xavi respectively. Among them, Zidane is ready to return after nearly 3 years of rest, while Xavi is also not a bad choice for Chelsea and will become a free coach at the end of the season.
