Chelsea identify two candidates to replace Pochettino amid sacking decision

Chelsea's poor run of form has once again put the spotlight on Mauricio Pochettino in the Stamford Bridge dugout. Fans again chanted for the Argentine boss to be sacked after Saturday's draw with Brentford, and he is under pressure once more.

"Yes, I've been told but I did not hear, to be honest. I am responsible. I am the head coach," said Pochettino.

The former Tottenham boss arrived at the Blues on a two-year contract and the bosses were going to wait until the end of the season to review his situation, but after a poor season that has seen them languish in 11th place in the table, the rumours of sacking have not ceased.

Chelsea are reported to have two potential replacements on their radar, Ruben Amorim (Sporting CP) and Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton).
