Mauricio Pochettino has delivered a worrying update about his future at Chelsea.

The Argentine was appointed last summer, becoming Thomas Tuchel's permanent replacement.

However, he has endured a shaky start to life at the west London club, with the Blues in danger of missing out on European football for the second consecutive season.

The 2021 Champions League winners are currently placed eighth in the Premier League standings with 51 points after 34 rounds of fixtures.

And despite securing a 2-0 win over London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, on Thursday night, Pochettino is still seemingly unconvinced about his own future.

Speaking after the Premier League cracker, the former Paris Saint-Germain boss gave a worrying update about his future, admitting his fate is out of his hands ahead of the summer.

"I want to say, enough is enough, all the managers need time to translate their ideas and their philosophy. More when the team is [young like ours]. We need to have time. But it is not my decision," he said via Metro UK.

"It is difficult to see every single week that I am [under] scrutiny and judgement, yes. But it is not my decision to be here or not to be here," he added.
