Nicolas Jackson has shown his frustration towards Chelsea’s hierarchy following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure.
In a statement released on Tuesday evening, Chelsea confirmed that Pochettino has now left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent.
The Argentine spent just one season at Chelsea, guiding the team to a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League as well as the Carabao Cup final where they were beaten by Liverpool.
But it wasn’t enough for Chelsea’s board, who have moved to terminate Pochettino’s deal following an end-of-season review.
Several Chelsea players have already expressed their gratitude towards Pochettino following the news of his exit, including Cole Palmer, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke.
Jackson also posted a message of thanks to Pochettino but took the opportunity to fire a shot towards Chelsea’s hierarchy.
In his Instagram story, Jackson posted a picture of himself with Pochettino along with two facepalm emojis.
Jackson then added another photo of himself with Pochettino with the words: ‘Love you coach, wish we could stay together more.
‘But may God continue to bless you and your family. Thanks for the advice and support.
‘You’re a true lion and fighter, wish you all the best.’
In an interview last week, Palmer also made it clear that the Chelsea squad were fully behind Pochettino.
‘Chelsea are a big club, everyone wants to finish higher than sixth but you have to look at where we were at the start of the season, throughout the season, we’ve been 13th, 12th. Last season obviously was the same.
‘So to get back into Europe is a step in the right direction.
‘Big credit to the manager because all the players love the manager and they want to fight for him. We’re just gelling now and everyone can see that.’
