Chelsea fans told Pochettino will not be boss for next season

Rio Ferdinand is not convinced Mauricio Pochettino will be in charge of CHELSEA next season

Despite a good run of games towards the end of the season – Pochettino failed to get the club side back into the Europa league for next season and end the campaign on a high.

There has been alot of speculation in the media about the future of Pochettino for the last few months – and now that the season is over – Ferdinand now believes the writing is on the wall for Pochettino.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: ‘I reckon there will be a managerial merry-go-round. And from what I’m hearing about Pochettino, I’m not sure he’s going to be there at CHELSEA.

‘The mutterings I’m hearing coming out, I don’t know if it’s going to end well there.’

When it was suggested Pochettino has now won over the fans and should be backed, Ferdinand continued: ‘But I don’t think it’s in their hands.

‘It’s the hierarchy and I think there could be a decision being made between those guys. I don’t think he’ll be there, if I was a betting man.’

‘I don’t know if that is going to happen or not. I don’t have any idea about this.

‘All I can tell you is on Friday night, Todd invited me for a dinner and it was a very nice dinner together. But I don’t know about the rumours about the review.

‘My staff tomorrow are flying for their holidays. I am going to stay in London for a few more days. My phone is going to be on.’

In a separate interview with Sky Sports, Pochettino was asked about his future and replied: ‘That is a question for the owners and the sporting directors.’
