Southampton Mauricio Pochettino to decide long-term future in May

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino will make a decision on his long-term future at the end of the season.

Pochettino has committed his immediate future to Saints following the departure of chairman Nicola Cortese.

He has 17 months left on his deal and said it would make "no sense" for him to leave in the middle of the campaign.
"At the end of the season, we will assess the situation and then we will decide whether I am apt to stay at the football club," he told BBC Sport.
"I am fully committed until the end of the season and taking this club as high as possible.
"It is only normal that we finish the season and then we will see what happens."
On Thursday, the Argentine met club owner Katharina Liebherr, who installed herself as non-executive chairman following Wednesday's departure of Cortese.
Pochettino sought assurances about the club's future direction amid rumours Liebherr is keen to sell.
It was only his second meeting with her since he replaced Nigel Adkins as manager a year ago.
The meeting lasted only five minutes, but Liebherr insisted she fully supported the 41-year-old manager, who admitted to a sleepless night following the Italian's exit.
Pochettino said in the summer he would leave St Mary's if Cortese departed, but explained the circumstances were very different now.
He also stated he intends to see out his contract at the club.
"They are different moments," he said. "When I came here, it was to keep the club in the Premier League. After that, a new project started.
