Chelsea has reportedly reached out to a manager known for inventing a groundbreaking 2-7-2 formation, potentially as a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino.Chelsea is in touch with a rising star in management, who has caught their eye this season with his innovative tactics. Reports suggest that Chelsea has reached out to a promising manager known for developing a groundbreaking 2-7-2 formation. Mauricio Pochettino is facing criticism at Chelsea after a disappointing 2023/24 season. The team ended the season without a major trophy and suffered 11 defeats in the league, including a humiliating 5-0 loss to Arsenal. Ahead of the summer transfer window, Todd Boehly is expected to abandon a previous strategy he followed during last year’s signings. This move hints at potential changes in the squad for the upcoming 2024/25 season, possibly without Pochettino as the manager. There’s growing pressure on the 52-year-old coach, with reports from Calciomercato suggesting that Chelsea has made initial contact regarding Thiago Motta. Motta is being considered as a replacement for Pochettino, given his successful stints managing Genoa, Spezia, and currently, Bologna, where he has them performing well in Serie A. Motta’s managerial journey began at Paris Saint-Germain, where he also ended his playing career. He gained attention for his desire to revolutionize tactics with a 2-7-2 setup, emphasizing a compact yet dynamic style focused on ball control and intense pressing. The rumors linking Thiago Motta to Chelsea as Pochettino’s potential successor highlight his growing reputation in coaching circles. Aside from Chelsea, he’s also been associated with taking over at Manchester United for Erik ten Hag, although Juventus seems to be leading the race to secure his services. Juventus’ current manager, Max Allegri, is expected to leave the club, paving the way for Motta to step in as their new head coach.
