Chelsea's chief executive Ron Gourlay has emphasised that the club intends Rafael Benítez to be in place as interim manager until the end of the season.
Gourlay, who was speaking in Kuala Lumpur while promoting Chelsea's forthcoming tour, said the status quo remains for now, with Benítez on course to fulfil his brief.
"Achieving one of the Champions League qualification slots is very important to this football club," Gourlay said.
"Our whole philosophy is based on success on the football field and we have been doing everything in our power to ensure one of these slots. We want to be pitting ourselves against the top clubs in Europe next season.
"We said from day one that Rafa was coming in as interim manager to the end of the season.
"It is important that we remain focused on the job in hand which is qualifying for the Champions League and then at the end of the season we will sit down, have a look at the situation and we will determine how we go forward."
