The Blues boss details the situation regarding his future
Mauricio Pochettino says he has struggled to work in the dark over his future at Chelsea.
The Blues have won their last 2 matches and are in good form to win tickets to Europe, but the coach’s position is still uncertain.
There is still no clear information on whether the Argentine will continue to play after the last two matches of the season.
His future will be decided at a post-season summit with Behdad Eghbali and sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley.
When asked about the impact of the situation, Pochettino said: “We are very comfortable. The way we feel uncomfortable is doubt – for example, if you say – is he here or not?
“Firstly, it is not my decision because if the owners are considering a change — well, of course, in a week [at the end of the season], we will know.
“That’s the instability we feel comfortable working with. We will be very strong in our efforts to help. It’s true that for months, as we’ve been talking about this, this question has kept coming up.
“You must kill the rumors; if not true, otherwise the rumors speak of a different strategy.
He added: “If you ask, does this affect me? It doesn’t affect me. Does this affect the people who work with us? I think so because in the end you can shut down the rumors and fire me, it doesn’t matter. This happens in many clubs. »
But performances improved significantly after wins over West Ham and Tottenham, showing the team has tried to put uncertainty out of mind.
“They had no doubts,” he added. “The players believe in us. We have a very good relationship.
“They don’t need anything. They are really focused. We respect every player. He then clarified his comments by adding: “Fans and staff, yes, they need to know.”
The Blues boss invited journalists to ask the board Chelsea director to see if he will continue beyond this season.

He was asked again if the club could do more to put an end to the constant talk about his future.
“Maybe they think we already have a contract so they don’t need to clarify anything with all the rumors you’re telling me,” he continued.

Perhaps due to the circumstances, they are not worried about the rumors. But it’s true that there have been too many rumors in recent months.But I know this job and we are in a club that expects too much [expects a lot], [with] the history [they have] it’s not easy.
“Yes, I agree to work this way, but it does not create bad feelings in us. We accept that we are in a club that has the power to make decisions… not all decisions come from us alone.
For us, it’s a matter of choosing the best starting lineup.
