Belle Silva called out the club after their defeat to Wolves on Sunday
Belle Silva, the wife of Chelsea defender Thiago Silva, has apologised for posting a tweet in which she appeared to call for Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking.
After their 10th defeat of the season to Wolves last weekend, Belle posted on X: “It’s time to change. If you wait any longer it will be too late.”
Pochettino confirmed he had spoken to Silva since his wife’s comments.
But in a new post on Wednesday, Belle apologised for her “outburst” online. “I’m sorry that my personal outburst as a passionate Chelsea fan has caused such an impact,” she said.
“I’m passionate about the team, I thrive on victories and I’m saddened by defeats.
“We all want the same thing, a winning team, come on Chelsea.”
