Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino believes he still has the backing of the club owners despite struggles this season
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino believes the club owners and board still have faith in him despite the poor start to the ongoing Premier League season.
The Argentine tactician has only accrued 19 points in 16 league games so far with the Blues languishing in 12th place which has led to speculations about his future at the club.
Chelsea go into Saturday afternoon’s home game against Sheffield United with Pochettino under pressure to secure a victory over the Premier League’s bottom side and the Argentine believes he still has time on his side.
Pochettino believes he still has time at Chelsea
Pochettino had a lot to say at the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Sheffield United on Saturday, emphasising that he is not worried about the hierarchy’s reputation for impatience.

“I am a person who trusts until the end, until someone says something else to me. I am a person that always trusts until someone shows me I cannot trust any more. I trust. I know also that I need to deliver. I know football. I trust, I really trust, Pochettino said.
The Argentine continues, “My decision to sign here was because I trust [the owners] when they offered me the job. And now because we don’t get the results that we wanted, it’s [not] that I do not trust. I am going to keep trusting because the club is showing me that they trust in my job.”
“The communication is the same from the beginning of the season, but no words in football. If I am here it is because they trust. The moment that they stop to trust, don’t worry, you will see not me here,” he said.
