CHELSEA manager Mauricio Pochettino is not bothered about the possibility of his being sacked at the end of his first season in charge of the club.
A recent upturn in form has reduced the calls for his sacking but the former Tottenham Hotspur boss is prepared if the Chelsea board decides to let him go.
Pochettino called for an end to the ‘stupid rumours’ following his side’s victory against Tottenham last week but insisted that he and his coaching staff must be on the same page as the owners if he were to continue at the club.
“If we are happy, perfect,” the 52-year-old Pochettino told reporters today.
“But it is not only if the owners are happy or the sporting directors happy…You need to ask us also, because maybe (we) 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.”
Pochettino, who has also managed Paris St-German and led Chelsea to the Carabao Cup final this season, said any decision on his future would have his input.
“Maybe we are not happy because we arrive here with a job to do and in the end it has not happened,” the Argentinian added. “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.”
Chelsea, who are currently seventh in the English Premier League, are away to Nottingham Forest tomorrow as they chase a top six finish and a European spot.
