One man who is now unlikely to be in the running for the Chelsea job if Mauricio Pochettino gets sacked is Simone Inzaghi.
It was recently reported that Chelsea are interested in the Inter Milan manager.
However, Simone Inzaghi has stated that he is happy at Inter and that he is confident that talks over a new contract will go well. His words on his future have been shared by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano on X.
Mauricio Pochettino will know that he is not out of the woods yet, though. Chelsea really need to improve if he is to keep hold of his job, with the Blues currently sitting in 11th in the Premier League table.
Pundit Chris Sutton, however, feels that his former club have no choice but to stick with Pochettino and cannot keep on sacking managers.

Inzaghi looks extremely settled at Inter, hence why he could be about to sign a new contract there.
The Italian has done a really good job at the San Siro, taking the Nerazzurri to the Champions League final last year and winning two Coppa Italia trophies.
He has an exciting team as well, consisting of the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Nicolo Barella. It is not a shock that Inzaghi does not want to leave that.
If Chelsea want to replace Pochettino in the summer, then, it looks like they are going to have to consider other options. Inzaghi seems to be staying put.
