Chelsea

Former Chelsea player and manager Ruud Gullit has revealed his shock at how Chelsea is being run.

Gullit has revealed his surprise at the managerial sacking at Chelsea.

According to Gullit, Chelsea no longer seem like a football club.

“If you don’t perform at Chelsea, you are immediately out. That is still the case,” former Chelsea player and manager Ruud Gullit said, while reacting to Mauricio Pochettino’s departure.

“That was already the case in my time under Ken Bates. I still think it is a very strange club, it also happened to Carlo Ancelotti. Pochettino was in a difficult position, he knew that.

“And he actually managed to squeeze out a reasonable performance, although it was not great.

“During my period I still had the feeling: this is a football club. There was another thought behind it, with Roman Abramovich.

“But if you look now: you can’t really identify with that, can you? It seems like a business model; it’s just making money.”
