And it's emerged that Boehly was backing Pochettino to continue in charge this season.
Instead, Eghbali pushed for the Argentine's dismissal, believing he didn't fit into BlueCo's overall strategy.
Transfer expert Ben Jacobs is reporting Eghbali was the prime influence on the decision to force out Pochettino after he had guided Chelsea to European qualification last term.
