Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, acknowledged the frustration of fans who called for his dismissal during the 2-2 draw with Brentford on Saturday.
Despite this, Pochettino maintains that he is still the head coach of the team.
Nicolas Jackson scored first for Chelsea in the first half, but by the 69th minute, Brentford was in the lead with goals from Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa.
As Chelsea fell behind, fans started chanting the names of Jose Mourinho and former owner Roman Abramovich, while also expressing their discontent with Todd Boehly.
For the first time this season, Chelsea supporters were heard chanting “f*** off, Mauricio” from the away end at the Gtech Community Stadium.
When asked about the chants against him, Pochettino responded: “Yes, I’ve been told about them, but I didn’t actually hear them, to be honest.”
“It’s difficult for me to understand so that why I cannot… I don’t know, I need to believe what you are telling me, but it’s normal, we are losing the game 2-1, it’s about expressing frustration, of course we are responsible, I am the one responsible, I am the head coach.”
