PSG have been clear this morning that they expected Pochettino to continue as their manager.
In an interview published on their website, the 49-year-old has spoken about the future of his side at the Parc des Princes.
It would suggest that he is planning ahead for next season with PSG, who simply won't let him leave without a fight.
Pochettino may have to initiate his own exit should he wish to depart for Real Madrid or Tottenham given that he still has another year on his contract.

Real chief Perez is also upon to the appointment of Antonio Conte or former striker Raul, who recently turned down a three-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Conte came close to replacing Julen Lopetegui back in October 2018 but an agreement was never finalised.
Meanwhile, Raul has been working his way up the ranks as a youth coach with Real Madrid Castilla.
He is now amongst the favourites to replace Zinedine Zidane after Real Madrid confirmed the Frenchman's departure this morning.
