Former Chelsea hero Emmanuel Petit has torn into Thiago Silva's wife this week.

The Frenchman is not impressed with the latter's social media tirade about manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Silva's wife Bella tweeted that Chelsea should change their management after their 4-2 loss to Wolves earlier this month.

Speaking to Betway, the Frenchman said: “This is exactly what happens in modern football.

“It could be his wife, his brother or someone close to the family. I totally disagree with it.

“It wasn't the first time his wife has spoken out and, to be honest, I was unhappy when I saw what she said because it was not the first time."
