(Football news) The Blues management chose to offer Mauricio Pochettino a two-year deal with a three-year option last summer. Though Chelsea has hinted that they could advance under the Argentine, there has been constant conjecture over the Argentine’s future throughout his rule.
Chelsea is on a four-match winning streak in the Premier League, even though they are only ranked 11th in the standings. They have also advanced to both the FA Cup semifinal and the EFL Cup final.
It remains to be seen if the latter two accomplishments will be sufficient to persuade the higher authorities to keep their faith in Pochettino, and no decision is expected to be made until the end of the current campaign.
Nevertheless, names are likely to continue to be linked with the Stamford Bridge hotseat for the foreseeable future with more personnel changes expected in the summer. Chelsea may make an attempt to entice Inzaghi away from the excellent job that he is doing at Inter.
Inzaghi has recorded 99 victories from his 149 matches in charge, winning two Coppa Italia trophies and guiding Inter to the 2023 Champions League final, where they lost to Manchester City. Claiming his first Serie A title looks to be a formality, with Inter currently sitting 14 points clear at the top of the standings with just nine matches remaining.
The 47-year-old may be encouraged to stay at San Siro after such an accomplishment, however the source notes that it might be challenging to persuade the former striker to resign from his position.
All of Inzaghi’s playing and management career has been in Italy, and there are rumours that he is in the process of having his contract extended beyond 2025.
There’s a chance that before the current season ends, Inzaghi will have made his commitment to Inter, dastarding Chelsea’s or any other team’s aspirations of signing him.
It was recently reported that Chelsea was already looking at Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon and Brighton & Hove Albion, respectively, as possible successors to Pochettino.
