Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that he is prepared to sit down with the club's board and discuss his future.

The Argentine has faced questions regarding his position following reports linking him to Real Madrid, and more recently to Tottenham Hotspur.

While Pochettino has claimed that he is in no rush, the 42-year-old is open to holding talks regarding his contract that is due to run out at the end of next season.

"I am working in a calm manner and I am open to discussing the future with the board when it is convenient and necessary," Pochettino told reporters in Thursday's press conference.

The Saints, who are currently eighth in the Premier League table, will take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
