He stated,

“It’s true that in the last few months the question is always coming. You need to kill the rumors if that’s not true. If not, the rumor is there for a different strategy [reason]. If you ask: ‘Is it affecting me?’ It is not affecting me. Is it affecting the people working with us? I think yes.”

Despite the uncertainty, Pochettino remains focused on the task at hand, prioritizing the team’s performance and progress. He emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and unity within the club, stating,

“The most important thing is to keep going, working if we are all happy, not only the owners happy with us, or the sporting directors with us, or us, with all the organization that the club is building here because of them we are all under assessment.”

With Chelsea’s future direction hanging in the balance, Pochettino and his team continue to strive for success on the field, aiming to end the season on a high note while awaiting the verdict on his managerial reign.
