Mauricio Pochettino drops hint over his Chelsea future as boss unveils transfer plans

Mauricio Pochettino has dropped a significant hint about his future at Chelsea, suggesting he's planning to be at the helm for the next season. Despite a scheduled end-of-season review with the club's hierarchy, Pochettino appears confident of his position at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine is set for a crucial meeting with the board for a comprehensive evaluation, yet his latest remarks to the press indicate he sees his future in west London beyond the summer.

The upcoming appraisal could result in Pochettino and Chelsea parting ways amicably if they both conclude it's the right course of action amidst the team's struggles. With a match against Everton on the horizon, the Blues' record stands at a mere 12 wins from 30 Premier League games this campaign.

After a disappointing 2-2 draw against bottom-placed Sheffield United, where a last-gasp goal cost Chelsea the win, Pochettino didn't hold back in calling his team «immature». This followed another frustrating 2-2 stalemate with relegation-threatened Burnley at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea failed to secure victory despite leading twice, mirroring the outcome at Bramall Lane.

Despite only amassing 44 points so far and facing the prospect of ending up in the lower half of the table for the second year running, Pochettino seems determined to push forward as Chelsea's manager. He has also hinted at his intentions for the transfer window, looking to bolster his squad for the upcoming season, reports the Express.
