“When Mauricio Pochettino signed with Chelsea, there was no ‘right man’ for the job. The club was in chaos,” Leboeuf told BetVictor. ( sand357 )

“You can hire anyone, even Pep Guardiola, and I don’t think they will do anything special with this Chelsea team because they can’t find a solution right away.”

“Now we’re starting to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel after the Aston Villa and Manchester City games, but it’s about consistency. We can see how Pochettino works with his players and the confidence he builds with them. But there is still a long way to go.”

“I think Pochettino is the last person to blame for the situation at Chelsea. I’m not even sure I would have taken the job at Chelsea in his time. Because the money might be good but it’s hard to know where to start from actually managing the team. He’s got the guts to take on this role and he’s doing well.”

Leboeuf, who played at Stamford Bridge between 1996 and 2001, believes Chelsea were in a difficult situation before Pochettino took over.
