"Stop writing things that make no sense" - Mauricio Pochettino provides response when asked about his future at Chelsea amid exit rumors

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has opened up about his future at the club amidst reports of a potential exit this summer.

The Blues beat rivals and Pochettino's former side Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Thursday, May 2. Trevoh Chalobah (24') and Nicolas Jackson (72') scored to secure big three points for the west London side.

After the game, Pochettino was asked about the rumors regarding his potential departure this summer. He dismissed such rumors but acknowledged that he was also unaware of his future. He said (via Evening Standard):

"If I have one more year on my contract here and no one says anything, then I suppose that I am going to be here. If there's a decision and someone says to me 'ciao', okay. But because we don't know at the moment, then I suppose that I will be here.

"But enough of these stupid rumours. You need to ask the club, whether the club wants me to keep going or not. And stop writing things that make no sense."

Chelsea appointed Pochettino as manager last summer after a season where they finished trophyless and 12th in the Premier League.

They will finish this season trophyless as well but the Argentine led them to the Carabao Cup final. They could also qualify for European competition as they currently sit eighth in the league standings. They sit three points behind sixth-placed Manchester United.
