Mauricio Pochettino is fighting hard to win the trust and support of the Chelsea fans, and it has been a difficult job so far.

The Argentine is yet to win a thing in England, which has made Chelsea fans doubt his managerial pedigree.

With Chelsea currently in mid-table in the Premier League, Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Pochettino must at least win the FA Cup if he wants to save his job at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea play Manchester City in the semi-final of the FA Cup, and for Wright, it’s a must-win game for Mauricio Pochettino.

“Pochettino is in an interesting place because they lost the League Cup [final], now they’re in the semi-finals of the FA Cup,” Wright said on his Ringer FC podcast.

“If they can get through that then Poch might get the time. Everything seems to be turning against him and we don’t know what Chelsea is turning up so I feel like this is so vital for him and that Chelsea job.

“He’s under pressure to win it. Because he hasn’t won enough stuff Chelsea fans thought he didn’t deal with the League Cup final and didn’t know how to win and make the subs needed to win.

“Those things are going to be levelled against him, especially because they’ve got Manchester City next. He’s got to beat Man City. It’s so tough but he has to.”
