Pochettino Commits To Saints

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that he will be staying at St Mary's Stadium to end speculation that is rife in the media.

The news came ahead of this afternoons press conference when Pochettino emerged from talks with Katharina Liebherr to announce via the Club's twitter feed.

"I am staying as #SaintsFC manager. I have a professional responsibility to everyone at the Club and the fans."

This is the news that everyone wants to hear, but the big question is whether this will be a long term decision or whether he will review his future once the season has ended.

If Pochettino continues to revive Saints fortunes after a poor run over December then his stock will rise and any overtures from supposed bigger clubs may be hard for him to resist given his close relationship with former Chairman Nicola Cortese.

But for the short term at least the Argentinian is staying and this will bring some stability to the club and enable it to sail some stormy waters ahead with a squad and manager who know each other.
