The London team "Chelsea", experiencing a very tough season, missed the opportunity to at least win the English League Cup trophy on Sunday. In the final of this tournament, the "aristocrats" had to admit defeat to "Liverpool" after extra time.

After another painful loss, foreign media started flashing reports that the club's leaders are losing patience with head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who took over the team just last summer.

However, the Argentine himself said at a press conference before the FA Cup match against "Leeds United" that he still feels the support of the club's leaders.

"I have communicated with the club owners both before and after the final. We talked about missed opportunities to win the trophy in regulation time."

"Chelsea's" owners have shown that they continue to support me," said M. Pochettino.

The strategist was also asked if he expects more time to change the current situation of the team.

"These decisions are not in my hands. I can only say that I have very warm relations with the club owners. Ultimately, it will be up to them to decide whether they believe in me," added the Argentine.
