Mauricio Pochettino blasted "stupid rumours" as speculation continues over his future at Chelsea FC. (More Sports News)
Pochettino oversaw a 2-0 win over former employers Tottenham on Thursday, becoming the first manager to complete a Premier League double after previously managing them in the c𒊎ompetitionও.
Yet a longer-term view on the p🎉lans under Pochettino remain unclear, with reports linking Julian Nagelsmann, Hansi Flick and Roberto De Zerbi to St🌊amford Bridge should the Chelsea manager be moved on.
Tha꧒t comes after another heavy-spending season und𒁃er the Todd Boehly-led ownership at Chelsea, who splashed once more on the likes of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku.
Cole Palmer, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson were among the other arrivals amid another chaotic transfer window in west London, with Pochettino battling in💮jury issues and managing a large squad.
Whether Chelsea pull the trigger for another manager may depend on how the Blues finish the season🅠, with Pochettino's side eighth but just three points behind sixth-placed Manchester U♐nited.
A place in Europe could be the decisive factor, though Pochettino vented his frustration at the situation in an honest assessment ofꦦ the media reports questioning his job safety.
"I wanted to say that it is enough with this type of rumours, that if I have one year more [under] contract here and no one says nothing [to me], [I𒁃] suppose I'm going to be here," Pochettino said.
"Only if then, the ﷺseason finishes and someone says to me 'ciao'... Because we༺ don't know at the moment.
"I suppose that I have one more year contract and that I am going to be here. Enoug♋h about the stupid rumours.
"You need to ask the club if they want me t🦂o keep going or not, not to write things that have no sense."
Pochettino has not been distracted by those rumours, though, with Chelsea winning eight of their last 🀅10 home Premier League games (D1 L1), after managing just one win from the 14 before that (D7 L6).
The Blues will ꦡhope to continue that imperious run of form when they host London rivals West Ham on Sunday at St👍amford Bridge.
