Chelsea is eyeing Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports. The 45-year-old Dutchman has emerged as a candidate to take over if Pochettino’s performance fails to improve by the end of the season, with the Argentine’s future at Stamford Bridge in question amidst ongoing scrutiny.
Following Chelsea’s draw with Brentford and their defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup Final, pressure has mounted on Pochettino, with rumors suggesting he could be sacked unless he secures European qualification. Despite being six points behind West Ham United in the league standings, Chelsea still sees European qualification as a challenging yet feasible goal.
Alongside Slot, other names linked to the Stamford Bridge managerial role include Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting’s Ruben Amorim. Slot, who led Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title last season, has signed a new deal with the club but could be tempted by an offer from Chelsea or a similar caliber team.
