Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino insists ‘there is nothing to communicate’ over Thiago Silva’s future, despite the defender hinting his time with the club was nearing its end in the wake of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final.
Silva, 39, was pictured in floods of tears as Chelsea’s elimination from the competition was confirmed, with Manchester City’s 1-0 victory effectively ending the the veteran Brazilian’s hopes of lifting silverware this season.
Bernardo Silva’s 84th-minute strike proved decisive at Wembley, less than a month on from Chelsea’s previous disappointment at the stadium when Pochettino’s men were defeated by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
Silva will be out of contract in the summer and the centre-back – who turns 40 in September – revealed he had already made a decision on his future as he spoke shortly after the game.
‘You are going to know in the coming days. I don?t want to say anything now after a defeat,’ the former Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan centre-half said.
?I?m sad about the result, but sooner or later the news will come out. I do have a decision made in my mind, but it?s not the moment to share it.
?It?s not an individual sport, but my four years here were very good.’
