Mauricio Pochettino said on Tuesday that he believes he has the continued support of the Chelsea owners despite his team’s poor run of form, and added that he receives “very good texts from them.”
Sunday’s 4-2 loss to Wolves, where fans chanted former manager Jose Mourinho‘s name, followed the 4-1 defeat at Liverpool last Wednesday, as Pochettino’s side dropped to 11th on the Premier League table.

But the Chelsea manager said he is in constant contact with the club’s owners and that he has their support.
“I haven’t [heard] anything in another way. I received very good texts from them,” Pochettino told a news conference ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup replay against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
“Of course, I am in contact with them and the sporting director every day.”
The club have spent over £1 billion since American businessman Todd Boehly took over in May 2022.
Pochettino also pleaded with fans to be patient with his side, after his own arrival and several new additions to the squad in the summer.
