 "Thiago Silva's wife suggests Mauricio Pochettino be sacked, apologises for outburst")
Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, has apologised for her “outburst” after seemingly asking for Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked following a hammering versus Wolves for the struggling Premier League club. Chelsea dropped to 11th in the league after being demolished 4-2 by Wolves at home, which followed a heavy 4-1 loss at Liverpool . The Blues have spent more than £1 billion on transfers since Todd Boehly’s takeover in May 2022 but have little to show for their vast outlay. Belle Silva posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “It’s time to change. If you wait any longer it will be too late.”
Pochettino said he had spoken to the veteran defender Thiago since his wife’s comment. “I’m sorry that my personal outburst as a passionate Chelsea fan has caused such an impact,” Belle wrote in a new post on X on Wednesday. “I’m passionate about the team, I thrive on victories and I’m saddened by defeats.
“We all want the same thing, a winning team, come on Chelsea.” Pochettino said that Thiago had met with him privately. “He came today to talk with me. I’m not going to talk about (what we said),” the former Tottenham boss said. “He came and wanted to talk with me… that was private. That’s it.” Chelsea posted a convincing 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Wednesday. They face Leeds United in the fifth round of the domestic competition.
