Chelsea boss Pochettino: I'll never walk away; could Jose do better?

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says he'll never resign from the job.

Pochettino was speaking before tonight's clash with Newcastle.

“Today is a different project," he said. “It's a different Chelsea. If you are going to judge us analysing the situation comparing it with the past of Chelsea, for sure, no one is going to succeed. The fans are not going to love another coach any more [than me]. It's a new project, and people need to understand.

Asked if he'd ever walk away, Pochettino replied: “No, no, no. Why? Never."

He was also asked if Jose Mourinho could've done better and replied: “I respect Jose. He's my friend and he was amazing for this club. Circumstances are circumstances. We need to keep pushing, believing in us, and accept all the things that came from the fans. Of course, I respect the fans."
