Ex-Chelsea defender, Malang Sarr has come out to blast former Blues manager, Mauricio Pochettino for treating him disrespectfully while at Stamford Bridge. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he wasn’t even permitted to train with the squad while Pochettino served as head coach, and he took the reality very badly especially because the Argentine tried to sign him when he was at Spurs.
Sarr added that Poch acting like he did know who he was during an interview was a joke since he knows him very well.
His words, “I took it badly. It shouldn’t have happened. He knew me. He even tried to sign me at Tottenham. I didn’t ask for an explanation.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
