Mauricio Pochettino's future with Chelsea seemed uncertain as he expressed some doubts after their recent win against Tottenham. The Blues had a convincing 2-0 victory over their London rivals, with goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson. This has put them back in the race for European qualification, just three points behind Manchester United with four games to go.
However, amidst this positive turn of events, Pochettino's position at the club remains uncertain. He has faced doubts throughout his first season in west London, especially after the 5-0 loss against Arsenal. The Argentine praised his young team for their dominant performance against Spurs, but also emphasized the need for time and patience to restore the club to its former glory.
But when asked about his own future, Pochettino didn't seem entirely convinced. He admitted that the decision will ultimately be out of his hands after the season ends. "With this team, with young guys, of course I have the responsibility," he told Sky Sports. "But at the same time, we know the circumstances. I want to say, enough is enough, all the managers need time to translate their ideas and their philosophy. Especially when the team is as young as ours. We need to have time. But it is not my decision."
When questioned about whether he fears his position may be taken away from him, Pochettino replied, "I don't know. It is difficult to see every single week that I am under scrutiny and judgement, yes. But it is not my decision to be here or not to be here."
In the midst of all this uncertainty, Pochettino was also asked if it is unrealistic for Chelsea to become title challengers next season. He hesitated to give a definite answer, saying, "I can't tell you. I can't say nothing. What I can see is that after the circumstances, after the decision, after the things that have happened, if we want to match the history of Chelsea, there is a lot of work to do. We will see if we have the time to build this way."
Despite all the doubts and uncertainties surrounding his future, Pochettino remains focused on the task at hand and is determined to continue working with his young team. Only time will tell what the future holds for him at Chelsea, but for now, he is fully committed to the club and their journey to success.
