Maurizio Sarri is expected to continue for the moment as Chelsea's head coach, but future encounters could affect his fate.
The owner, Roman Abramovich, is not renowned for his patience and the humiliating losses suffered by Bournemouth and Manchester City, followed by the reaction of the fans while FA Cup exit Monday at Manchester United, could result in the departure of Sarri.
Sports Press Association comprises Chelsea are preparing with Sarri Thursday, in the first leg of the Europa League played Thursday against 32 for Malmo – they hold a 2-1 advantage in the first leg – facing Sunday the final of the Carabao Cup against City.
Chelsea beat Pep Guardiola's side 2-0 in December and Sarri maintains that despite a 6-0 loss to Etihad Stadium on Feb. 10, his team can win the first trophy of his career.
Then comes a derby with rivals Tottenham on February 27, where the defeat would see Chelsea lose more ground in its attempt to qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League. The Blues are sixth, behind Arsenal on goals scored.
Historically, as Luiz Felipe Scolari and Andre Villas Boas will attest, Chelsea modified his canoe when his four most ambitious hopes were defeated.
Already under pressure after the 6-0 defeat at City, which was the biggest defeat in 28 years of Chelsea. Quickly after the 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth, the worst in 22 years, Sarri left no doubt about the strength of the fans. towards him.
Chelsea fans joined them as United fans sang "You're going to be fired in the morning", before local fans chant "f *** Sarri-ball" and sing about Frank Lampard.
Since the beginning of Rafael Benitez, the Blues fans have not expressed the discontent of a manager of Chelsea, which is due to the story of the Spaniard in Liverpool.
Perhaps a grace that saves Sarri lies in the fact that Abramovich is not there to hear the dissent of himself.
Following his visa problems last summer, the Russian billionaire has not been seen at a Chelsea game this season.
The boss of Derby Lampard is Chelsea's record scorer and a possible successor, but he does not know if he will change at this stage of the season is uncertain, it is highly likely that Chelsea will appoint an acting boss as they Had already done with Guus Hiddink in 2010 and 2016 and Benitez in 2013.
The Blues insist privately that Gianfranco Zola, Sarri's badistant, will not be on duty by goalkeeper for the rest of the season.
However, if Sarri goes away, the need may dictate that the former Blues playmaker, who has had management difficulties with Watford, West Ham and Birmingham, be at the helm for at least a short time. period, the time to find a solution in the longer term.
The former boss of CSKA Moscow, Hull and Russia Leonid Slutsky is a friend of Abramovich and could be an option.
When Hiddink took charge of his two guardian spells, they followed short stints with Ray Wilkins and Steve Holland at the helm.
Sarri was named on July 14, one day after Antonio Conte's late dismissal, after the start of the pre-season.
Conte's Premier League win in their first season, 2016-17, and the triumph of the FA Cup in their last game at the head of the match are even more remarkable in hindsight.
Seven months later, Sarri faces nine days and three games to reverse a seemingly inevitable fate.
