John Gregory to leave the Chennai job?

In the post-match interview, John Gregory stated that it's about time he and the owner of Chennaiyan FC have a conversation about his future in the club. Gregory stated that Vita Dani (owner of Chennaiyin FC) has been very supportive for two years but the team has experienced a dip in form since then. According to the Englishman, every member of Chennaiyin FC considers themselves to be a member of a very good club and their recent form is painful to watch. The 2017-18 ISL winning coach said that he has carried the club on his shoulder and it's not easy to see them struggling like the way they are now.
