Many players were shocked to learn about the news through social media, leaving them devastated. Jackson, who joined Chelsea in a £32 million transfer from Villarreal last summer, shared his disappointment on social media following the announcement. He first posted a picture of himself with Pochettino, captioned with two emojis of a man with his face in his hands. Jackson followed this up with another Instagram story caption: “Love you coach. Wish we could stay together more (hand-over-face emoji). But may God continue to bless you and your family. Thanks for the advices and support, you’re a true lion and a fighter, wish you all the best (heart emoji).”
