Coping with numerous injuries and assembling a competitive team from a swiftly assembled squad of young talents has posed significant hurdles for the Argentine.
Despite recent victories over Tottenham (2-0) and West Ham (5-0), Chelsea’s failure to secure silverware and potential exclusion from European competition next season have cast doubt on Pochettino’s tenure.
