Mauricio Pochettino revealed on Friday that he has had no direct communication with the Chelsea owners for months.
The boss said that questions about his future should be posed to the owners as he doesn't know what they are thinking.
“That’s a good question for them if you have the opportunity to ask them," said Pochettino when asked if he has the full trust of the club.
“But it’s not a subjective idea of us [that we have problems] - it is the reality. Okay, that is a point: if we are [considered] responsible, we are responsible.
“Maybe we are not responsible in this situation. I cannot answer the question because, to be honest, I don’t know what they are thinking.”
“My responsibility is that the team performs,” he added. “But of course, the club is designing and planning a structure that you need to prove works. Because of the results, you can say it’s just [the manager].
“But I don’t have the key to the club. I don’t make all the decisions here. That is to be made clear. If you say to me I have the key and this guy is here because it’s my decision, that is one thing.
“But if this is not my decision you need to judge me and judge him in his job, no? Because it’s not my direct responsibility.”
