Leaving Chelsea Not End Of The World, Says Pochettino

Chelsea football club manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has said it would not be the end of the world if he left the club this summer.

The Blues manager believed it was not just up to Chelsea’s owners to make a decision on his future, and that he will also have a say on where he will be next season.

Chelsea have had a mixed first year under the former Tottenham boss, who joined the club last July. Although recent successive victories over Spurs and West Ham have put them in contention for a European spot, which has looked unlikely for much of the season.

Speaking at his Friday press conference, Pochettino said: “If we are happy then it’s perfect, but it’s not only if the owners are happy, because you need to ask us also, because maybe we are not happy and we need to split.

“It would not be the first time a coaching staff decided to not keep going. Tomorrow I could say I am going to leave. It’s two parts if they make a decision and it’s not only if Chelsea are not happy, the owner is not happy, the sporting director is not happy.

“Maybe we are not happy because we arrived here with a job to do, but in the end it’s not what we expect. I am not saying I am not happy. If we split it’s not a problem, it will not be the end of the world.”
