Southampton's Mauricio Pochettino to face questions over future

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino will face questions about his future from the media this afternoon.

The 41-year-old is reportedly considering resigning from his post following the departure of Nicola Cortese as the club's chairman on Wednesday.

The Italian stepped down from his position because of a reported rift with Southampton owner Katharina Liebherr, who has named herself as the Italian banker's temporary replacement.

According to Sky Sports News, Pochettino met with Liebherr on Wednesday over the issue and he will now be facing questions during a press conference ahead of his side's Premier League clash against Sunderland.
