Pochettino’s ‘insight’ into thoughts on future

There’s been a lot of speculation about Mauricio Pochettino’s future during his time in charge of Chelsea. In the week, co-owner Todd Boehly said the “plan is coming together”, but Pochettino has said previously he wants the “stupid rumours to end” about whether he will be in charge of the Blues next season.

Today, at his pre-Nottingham Forest news conference, he gave further insight into what he is thinking.

“Look, it’s not important. The most important thing is to keep going, working if we are all happy, not only the owners happy with us, or us, with all the organisation the club is building here because of them we are all under assessment,” said the Argentine manager.

“If we are happy, perfect. But it is not only if the owners are happy or the sporting directors are happy. If we are happy, you need to ask us, also, because maybe say ‘we are not happy’ and we accept the situation and we need to split.

“It is not going to be the first time the coaching staff at the end of the season decide to not keep going. But at this end, it is always the opposite way, it is always the owners or the sporting directors.

“They can say tomorrow, maybe I can say ‘I want to leave’. It is two parties to make a decision. Because Chelsea is not happy, the owners are not happy or the sporting directors. Maybe we are not happy because we arrive here with a job to do and in the end it has not happened how we expect. I am not saying I am not happy, but it is always one side and maybe [we need to look at the] other side.”
