Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea coach, removed doubts about his future at the English club and said they are preparing for the preseason and the upcoming season.
The Argentine’s future has been in question in recent months due to the team’s poor results, being eliminated from cup competitions and missing the chance to qualify for the Champions League for the second season in a row.
Boehly, happy
However, recent weeks have restored confidence in Pochettino who, with three games remaining in the Premier League, can still put Chelsea in fifth position, giving access to the Europa League.
Even Todd Boehly, owner of Chelsea, spoke about the team’s present at a Sportico conference in Los Angeles.
“In the last two and a half games, against Aston Villa (2-2), Tottenham (2-0) and West Ham (5-0) we played good football,” said the American.
“It was very fluid, exactly how we want. When we got the ball from behind and moved around the field in an organized way and with the number of shots we are taking… In these two and a half games you can really see it. that we are united. Even the comments have changed during this time, I have not seen any change very quickly,” added Boehly.
He admitted that he plans next season
Pochettino, before facing Nottingham Forest this Saturday, also shed light on his future at the club. “We are already working and planning a preseason tour. We have had several meetings to organize next season and, of course, work on the future,” the Argentine said this Friday in a press conference.
The coach played down all the rumors about the future and said it was “not important.” “The important thing is that we continue to work if we are all happy. If we are happy, perfect, but it only works if we are all happy. This is not the first time that the coaching staff at the end of the season decides not to continue, but usually the owners or “the board decides that.”
A decision of both sides
“Tomorrow they can decide, or maybe I’ll say ‘I’m leaving’. It’s a decision that both parties have to make. I don’t want to say that I’m not happy, but we have to look at both parties,” said Pochettino. who declared: ” If I have to leave, it’s not the end of the world.”
