Chelsea players were left in a state of shock after learning of their manager's sacking.

Mauricio Pochettino was given his marching orders by the club this week after the Premier League concluded.

The Argentine led the Blues to a cup final, another cup semi final, and sixth place in the Premier League.

Per The Telegraph, players were only told after the story went out into the media.

Many of them learned through WhatsApp groups that Pochettino would no longer be in charge.

He is said to be very popular among the group, considering performances and results had improved as the season went on.
