Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit is fuming with Thiago Silva‘s wife – Isabelle – after she called for Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked by insisting it was ‘time for change’.

The Brazilian star’s partner has regularly used her social media to outspokenly express her feelings regarding issues going on at Chelsea.

Following a recent 4-2 defeat against Wolves, she took to social media to express displeasure at Chelsea’s recent form as they slumped to their 10th league defeat of the season.

Posting online at the time, she said: ‘It’s time to change. If you wait any longer it will be too late.’

She later apologised for her post as Thiago was dropped for Chelsea’s next match, an FA Cup fifth round win over Aston Villa.

However, despite her apology, Petit is still fuming at Belle’s actions and insisted this is not the first time she has lashed out at club staff on social media.

‘This is exactly what happens in modern football,’ Petit told Betway.

‘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.’

‘She did it with Tuchel and with so many other people. Everyone is allowed an opinion but if my wife did it, I would be in trouble in the dressing room with players, staff, management and owners the following day.

‘I can understand that some fans are happy with what she has done but I’m not happy about it, I’m not happy at all.

‘Again, everyone has the freedom to say what they feel but you have to be very careful, especially when you criticise the boss and take a dig at the manager in the public domain like this. 

‘I really, really don’t appreciate it. What she has said doesn’t help anyone,’ he added.

Pochettino later revealed after the issue that the matter had been resolved after the Blues centre-back came to talk to him personally.
