Chelsea icon Pat Nevin believes one current star could feel 'relieved' by Mauricio Pochettino's departure as manager having fallen out of favour under the Argentine.
Pochettino left Chelsea by mutual consent last week after a single season in charge at Stamford Bridge.
The 52-year-old's exit followed an internal review after Chelsea's sixth placed finish in the Premier League.
Chelsea missed out on Champions League football next season, despite a late season revival with the Blues ending the campaign with five successive Premier League wins.
Nevin, who made 242 appearances for Chelsea, suggested that Raheem Sterling might not be 'upset' by Pochettino's exit from the club.
