Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with Chelsea’s performance under manager Mauricio Pochettino following their 4–2 defeat to Wolves. Despite initially taking the lead with Cole Palmer’s goal, Chelsea faced setbacks, including an own goal by Axel Disasi. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge worsened with boos at halftime and escalated when Matheus Cunha scored a hat-trick for Wolves in the second half.
After the match, disgruntled fans voiced their discontent, chanting Roman Abramovich’s name and disparaging the team. Notably, Belle Silva took to social media, posting a cryptic message that hinted at the need for change, possibly referring to Pochettino. Fans, including notable supporter Frank Khalid, reacted with agreement.
Criticism arose regarding the appropriateness of a player’s wife publicly criticizing the manager. This isn’t the first time Belle has used social media to express discontent; she had criticized Chelsea during Graham Potter’s tenure last season.
With Chelsea now in 11th place in the Premier League, the club faces a significant gap from the top four, challenging the expectations set by significant investments made in the past 18 months. The hope of securing a spot in the Champions League appears distant, raising questions about the team’s future under Pochettino’s management.
