Mauricio Pochettino 'at risk of being fired' this summer, what he can do to avoid it — revealed

Mauricio Pochettino is not expected to be dismissed as Chelsea head coach before the end of the season, The Guardian reports.

However, the Argentinian manager is at risk of being fired in the summer, as some sources told the publication.

The parting of the ways will be more likely if Chelsea miss out on European competitions this season.

As things stand, Chelsea are ninth, three points behind Newcastle in seventh who have played an extra game.

Pochettino has not lost the dressing room, so the players' revolt is unlikely to be the reason if the manager is fired. However, there are 'murmurings' of discontent about some tactical choices.
