Chelsea boss Pochettino denies hearing Abramovich and Mourinho chants from angry fans

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he didn't hear the chants from away fans for his sacking during their 2-2 draw at Brentford.

The Blues away support also took aim at co-owner Todd Boehly and called for the returns of Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho during the clash.

"I've been told but I didn't hear to be honest – I don't know," said Pochettino. "I need to believe. I didn't hear but it's normal. We were losing the game 2-1 and it's about to express their frustration. I am one of the responsible [ones]. I am the head coach.

"I am not worried. We need to accept this relationship. Someone asked me if I feel the love for the fans, no. We need to build our relationship between the coaching staff, the coach and the fans.

"You build your relationship by winning games. I think the relationship is good. We need to understand the fans are emotional. I am fighting to provide the team the best tools to work and to improve and play in this way, score goals and win games."
