Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has slammed the questions surrounding his future at the club after a disappointing season.

The Blues got back to winning ways on Thursday evening when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino's charges are going to finish outside of the top four once again and they could miss out on a top six finish as well.

However, the Argentine was in no mood to talk about his future ahead of Sunday's London derby against West Ham United.

“We were talking about the judgment at the end of the season, if I feel I am under scrutiny,” Pochettino said, as per the Gaurdian.

“But to prove, after all these circumstances, that we deserve to be here next season … I say: ‘Who is going to judge me?’ I need to judge myself and all the players and of course with all the circumstances.

“But I wanted to say that it is enough with these type of rumours. If I have one more year on my contract here, and no one says nothing, suppose that I am going to be here. [We leave] only if then we finish the season and someone says to me: ‘Ciao.’

“Because we don’t know at the moment. I suppose I have one more year on my contract and that I am going to be here. But enough about the stupid rumours. You need to ask the club if they want me to keep going or not – not to write things that have no sense.”
