Cole Palmer, the rising star of Chelsea, sent a message to Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino following his departure from coaching the London team.
Today, Tuesday, Chelsea's management announced the sudden termination of Pochettino contract, reached by mutual agreement, just one season after his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
Taking to his Instagram account, Palmer penned a heartfelt message to his coach, saying: “To my coach... thank you for everything you've done for me.”
He added: "You've turned my dreams into reality. Wishing you all the best."
Under Pochettino guidance in his debut season with the Blues, Palmer's star ascended, with an impressive record of 25 goals and 15 assists across all competitions.
The decision to part ways with Pochettino came as a surprise, particularly given the team's improved performance since the beginning of the year, securing a sixth-place finish and qualification for European competitions.
This move sparked widespread debate in the English media, with many questioning the decision by Chelsea management, given Pochettino apparent success in steering the club back on track after two years of uncertainty.
