"Southampton" strategist Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that he will remain in the position of the club's head coach. Rumors that the Argentine could leave the team spread after Nicola Cortese stepped down as the club's chairman. "I will stay as the strategist of Southampton because I feel a duty to the club and its fans. I want to show my gratitude to N. Cortese, who invited me and my colleagues to the club," said the 41-year-old coach. "Eight months ago, I would have left the team with him, but the situation has changed. Now we are in the middle of the project, leaving now would be illogical." "Nicola knows my decision. I met with the club's owner Katharina Liebherr, who said she trusts me and the coaching staff," M. Pochettino reassured. The Argentine took over the reins of the "Saints" team in the middle of January 2013. Currently, Southampton team holds the 9th place in the English Premier League with 30 points."
