Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea coach, says he spoke with Thiago Silva about the tweet published by his wife demanding the departure of the Argentine technician.
Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he spoke to veteran defender Thiago Silva over his wife’s comments on social media during the 4-2 defeat to Wolves. Belle Silva, whose outspokenness made her something of a hero among supporters during Thiago’s time at Stamford Bridge, posted a cryptic message on social media amid the humiliating result.

Asked about the comment during Tuesday’s press conference, Pochettino admitted he had spoken to Silva about his wife’s message and insisted he maintained an excellent relationship with the defender. “He came today to speak with me”explained Pochettino.
