Chelsea manager Avram Grant has admitted he is unsure what his future will hold after the Champions League final.
The Israeli's future has been the subject of speculation almost since his move to the job of head coach of the Blues first-team last September.
And despite leading the club to within one match of the Premier League title - eventually finishing runners up to Manchester United - it is still being predicted by many pundits that Grant will step out of the Stamford Bridge limelight in the summer and back into his former role as director of football.
"If the club is not happy with me, no problem," Grant said.
"If I'm not happy with them and I want to leave, I don't think they will make any problems either. But, for the moment, nothing happens."
Despite being haunted by rumours for several months, Grant claims the talk "doesn't bother" him.
"In football we know what happens. Sometimes the coach doesn't like the team, sometimes the team doesn't like the coach," he continued.
"You know when you are at a top club because when we won nine games in a row - which we did to set a record - and then we drew, it was a disaster."
Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League showdown with title rivals United, he added: "We'll talk about next year after the final.
"The target is to win the game, then we will talk about the future. But I promise you the future will be very good at Chelsea."
