CHELSEA Manager, Mauricio Pochettino, sees nothing wrong with Chelsea owners making their way into the team’s dressing room during and after games.
Following the club’s slump in form in recent times, it has become a reoccurring theme for Chelsea owners, Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali and co, to storm into the team’s dressing room at halftime and after games.
Co-sporting directors, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, are also known to have paid these visits.
Pochettino, however, sees nothing wrong with the visits, so long as it doesn’t undermine his authority in the dressing room.
“I like when the owners come — in all my career as a coach, at Espanyol then Southampton, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain also, before and after,” Pochettino told reporters on Tuesday.
“It’s good that the owners came to the dressing room. It’s in the way that they approach the players that is the most important. If they are in a good way, I think they’re very welcome.
“It’s not a job of the owner to come to the dressing room and give some speech after the game, but they know very well how they need to behave,” the Argentine tactician said.
Chelsea’s terrible form has seen them record only one win from their first six league games.
Calls for the Manager to be sacked has become increasingly rampant in recent times, with many of the first team players becoming targets of abuse onfield and online by large section of the Chelsea fan base.
