Mauricio Pochettino told Noni Madueke to 'be careful' after the winger criticised the Chelsea fans for booing Raheem Sterling.
The Chelsea supporters fans turned on Pochettino's team during their Premier League clash with Wolves on February 4.
The Blues suffered another harrowing defeat and dropped into the bottom half of the table following their 4-2 lost at Stamford Bridge.
Raheem Sterling jeered off by sections of the home supporters when he was replaced by Mykhailo Mudryk after 72 minutes.
Songs could also be heard from the stands mocking the team, with a turnaround looking some way away despite landing a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
The fans continued to mock the team, chanting 'we're f***ing s**t' and singing the name of former owner Roman Abramovich.
They also taunted Pochettino during their game with Newcastle, singing 'you don't know what you're doing' for his substitutions and continued to jeer Sterling.
Speaking after the game, Madueke said: 'It's so important (to support Sterling). I'm nobody to tell you not to have an opinion but I also have mine.
'That's one of my team-mates and the criticism is harsh and unfair. It's our duty to voice our opinion and try to change the narrative a bit.'
He finished by saying: 'Raheem is an exceptional footballer and an even better person. It's a bit upsetting when I see some of the criticism.'
Pochettino also spoke up for Sterling, but insisted Madueke needed to be careful about the comments he was making about the fans.
'It's about being calm now and accepting the situation,' Pochettino said during his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
'The most important [thing] is to deal with this situation with our experience, and Raheem is a very experienced player.'
