In recent times, Mauricio Pochettino has reiterated that he shares a “good relationship” with Chelsea’s owners, despite facing increasing pressure. The Blues secured a crucial 3-2 victory against Newcastle, narrowing the gap on European qualification, in a match attended by Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, and Hansjorg Wyss.
The Argentine coach, under scrutiny lately, found solace in the win, especially with the owners present at Stamford Bridge. Fans had expressed discontent in the draw against Brentford, and with Chelsea navigating through a challenging season, these three points were a significant relief.
Criticism has surrounded Chelsea’s owners for entering the dressing room after games, a practice that continued even after last season’s backlash. However, this did not deter them from being present at the recent victory.
After the game, Boehly appeared content, and Pochettino shared that they had a brief conversation in the dressing room. Pochettino mentioned, “Yes, he came with his son, and I think Behdad [Eghbali]. All of the owners were there. Yes, it was a nice chat, only a few minutes because I needed to come for the interview and the press conference. Yes, it was good, the relationship is good.”
It’s worth noting that Boehly has taken a step back from the day-to-day operations of the club and has not been as regularly present at games this season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s positive connection with Chelsea’s owners remains intact, offering a sense of reassurance amid the challenges faced by the team. The recent win against Newcastle adds a positive note to the season, with owners present to witness the crucial victory.
