All through the season, there were talks about the future of Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino, as Chelsea laboured for most part of the season in mid-table.

After a late surge towards the end of the season, it’s now being mooted that Pochettino will continue until next season at least.

Pochettino seems sure of his future at Stamford Bridge after a recent meeting with Todd Boehly.

Pochettino said of the meeting: “All I can tell you is on Friday night, Todd invited me for a dinner and it was a very nice dinner together. But I don’t know about the rumours about the review.

“My staff tomorrow are flying for their holidays. I am going to stay in London for a few more days. My phone is going to be on.”

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand does not believe Pochettino will be in charge of Chelsea next season.

Rio Ferdinand now believes the writing is on the wall for Pochettino despite the upturn in Chelsea’s results and says he has heard whispers of a likely sack.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: “I reckon there will be a managerial merry-go-round. And from what I’m hearing about Pochettino, I’m not sure he’s going to be there at Chelsea.

“The mutterings I’m hearing coming out, I don’t know if it’s going to end well there.”

When it was suggested Pochettino has now won over the fans and should be backed, Ferdinand continued: “But I don’t think it’s in their hands.

“It’s the hierarchy and I think there could be a decision being made between those guys. I don’t think he’ll be there, if I was a betting man.”
