Chelsea fans have offered mixed reactions to Mauricio Pochettino leaving the club.
The Argentine and the club have parted ways via mutual consent after just one season working together, with the Blues confirming the news on Tuesday evening.
Pochettino, who had struggled to connect with supporters due to his Tottenham connections, led the side to a sixth place Premier League finish and the Carabao Cup final.
All was not plain sailing, as he received backlash for failing to win the cup against an inexperienced Liverpool side and the Blues lingering in mid-table for much of the season, but he turned things around towards the back end of the campaign and helped the club qualify for Europe.
The two parties, however, have now parted ways, and Blues fans are split on how to feel about the call.

BREAKING NEWS Mauricio Pochettino LEAVES Chelsea by 'mutual consent' after just one season at Stamford Bridge... despite brilliant end to the season which saw Blues finish in sixth place
Another fan wrote: 'We are gonna regret letting him go,' accompanied by a heartbreak emoji.
A third posted: 'I'm actually quite sad about Poch going. He was able to unite the team but Chelsea needs to do better though.'
The Blues have spent over £1billion since Todd Boehly took over the club in 2022, but haven't won a trophy since are now looking to appoint their fourth manager of the American's reign.
The former PSG boss was 12 months into a two-year deal that had an option to be extended for another year, and, according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will now look to appoint a younger coach.
Whilst some supporters were disappointed to see him go, others revelled in his dismissal.
'I can't say I'm disappointed Poch has gone,' one fan posted on X. 'He lost many after the shambles of playing for penalties in the League Cup final BUT progress in the last month makes it bizarre and tells you all you need to know about our owners. The clubs continues to be a circus.'
A second wrote: 'Not angry about Poch going, I was Poch out the whole season.
'It's just the complete lack of faith in the board to make any correct decision. 0-4 in managers incoming.'
Some supporters appeared thankful for the former Tottenham boss' efforts while in charge
Others, however, were pleased to see him leave, but slammed the board for their general decisions
Pochettino had been in charge of the club for just a year, having taken the reigns last summer
The reason why the agreement was reached is yet to be revealed, though there have been reports of Pochettino's concern over off-field activities impacting on-the-pitch.
The likes of Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah, two homegrown players, have been linked with moves away, despite playing important roles for the Blues this season.
Names such as Roberto De Zerbi, Ruben Amorim and Kieran McKenna have been linked with the vacancy.
