Former Chelsea Player Cesc Fabregas has been spotted in Stamford Bridge training ground this week ahead of stunning managerial return!
Cesc Fabregas has explained why he was at Chelsea’s training field last week and expressed his astonishment at Mauricio Pochettino’s unexpected absence just days after they spent an hour and a half talking.
Just 11 months after signing, the Argentine coach departed the west London club Tuesday night with “mutual consent,” and the Blues are now searching for a new manager.
Chelsea reached the final of the Carabao Cup and the semi-final of the FA Cup in addition to ending the season with five straight wins to guarantee a spot in Europe following a challenging campaign.
While his remarks undermined speculations from supporters that Pochettino would be in the position to take over, leader Fabregas maintains there was no hint during his visit to Cobham on Friday that his stint was set to come to and end.
“It’s tough sometimes to accept or have an opinion when you are not there to observe what happened,” stated Fabregas on Wednesday’s Planet Premier League BBC Sounds podcast. Look, I was there quite literally. Strangely enough, I visited London on a weekend.
First of all, my rapport with Mauricio was positive. Every time we played against them, I always thought he was a quite courteous individual.
‘So I thought they won four games in a run, it was Friday [that he visited], two days before the conclusion of the season, so everything is pleasant and wonderful and relaxed around the training ground, last game of the season.
