Jose Mourinho next club odds: 'Special One' 3/1 to make Chelsea return

His side were beaten 4-2 by Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, a result that left them 11th in the Premier League table.

Despite continued investment in the playing squad, Chelsea have been unable to challenge for the European places under Todd Boehly's ownership.

Pochettino has at least guided them to the final of the Carabao Cup, meeting Liverpool at Wembley at the end of February.

Sunday's defeat saw him cut into 7/2 second-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position.

They also won the FA Cup during his first time in charge, alongside two League Cup successes and another in 2015.
