Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, appears to have called for the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino following Chelsea’s 4-2 defeat to Wolves. Despite initially taking the lead with a goal from Cole Palmer, Chelsea faced setbacks as Matheus Cunha equalized and Axel Disasi scored an own goal before halftime. Fans expressed frustration, booing the players and engaging in heated exchanges during halftime. Cunha completed a hat-trick in the second half, leading to further discontent among Chelsea supporters.
Thiago Silva managed to score a late goal, but with most fans having left and remaining ones in discord, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge turned hostile. Some fans even chanted the name of previous owner Roman Abramovich, while others joined Wolves supporters in criticizing the team. After the match, there was widespread booing and jeering, reflecting growing dissatisfaction.
Belle Silva, known for her outspokenness on social media, joined the chorus of discontent. On X, she posted a message suggesting a change was needed urgently, a sentiment interpreted by many as a call for Pochettino’s removal. Some fans, including Frank Khalid, expressed support for Belle’s statement, with one suggesting she should manage Chelsea herself.
However, Belle’s public criticism of the manager raised eyebrows, with concerns about the professionalism of a player’s spouse openly challenging the coach. This isn’t the first time she has used social media to express dissatisfaction, having been critical of the team during Graham Potter’s tenure last season.
The defeat leaves Chelsea in 11th place in the Premier League, trailing 15 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. The significant spending by Chelsea in the past 18 months aimed at securing a top-four spot or European qualification now appears uncertain, casting doubt on the team’s ambitions and the effectiveness of their recent investments.
