According to the source, after the defeat of Chelsea in the first semi-final match of the English League Cup from "Middlesbrough" (0:1), the management of the London club seriously considered the dismissal of Pochettino because of the recent poor results.

Pochettino may be out of a job if Chelsea fail to win in the return match against Middlesbrough and reach the final of the English League Cup.

Recall, the second match of this confrontation will be held on 23 January in London.
