Telegraph: Mauricio Pochettino about to face 'executioner's axe' at Chelsea

Mauricio Pochettino is finding himself under more and more pressure at Chelsea as results refuse to go their way.

According to the Telegraph, the Argentine could face 'executioner's axe' if the Blues get eliminated from the Carabao Cup in January.

The first leg of the semi-final against Middlesbrough was lost 1–0 and now everything depends on the return clash at Stamford Bridge later this month.

While Chelsea don't have an immediate plan to replace Pochettino, the club higher-ups have made it clear to the Argentine that they will not tolerate this run of results.
