EPL: We need to accept it – Pochettino speaks on demand for Mourinho to return

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has hit out at supporters after they sang for Jose Mourinho during their 2-2 draw with Brentford.

The Blues are enduring a miserable campaign under Pochettino.

They find themselves sitting in 11th place in the Premier League, 19 points adrift of Aston Villa in fourth place.

Pochettino’s men also lost the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool and face Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Fans could be heard chanting in support of the currently unemployed Mourinho and “f*** off Mauricio” at Brentford.

Mourinho won three Premier League titles across two spells at Stamford Bridge, but Pochettino has now hit out at those calling for his head.

He said: “Look, I respect Jose, he is my friend. He was amazing for this club, his medals here are amazing. We need to be pushing and believe in us and accept the things that come from the fans.

“If the players believe that with another coach they can do better…maybe they can talk with the owner or sporting director. You need to ask the players. You can ask. Do you see me worried about this?”
