Mel not certain regarding West Brom future

West Bromwich Albion manager Pepe Mel admits he is unsure on whether or not he will be at the helm of the club next season.

The Baggies appointed the Spaniard in January on an 18-month deal after sacking Steve Clarke but he is not certain if he will be at The Hawthorns next season.

Albion currently sit 16th on the Premier League table, five points clear of the relegation zone, but Mel is not thinking too far ahead as he continues to prepare a team in what he calls world football's 'most competitive league'.

"I don't know where I am going to be next season," he said.

"This is a different country, a different language, another way of doing things, but I said at the time (of my appointment) I would make sure that I met the objective (of staying up) and that is what is taking place.

"This is a league in which anyone can take points of anyone, you can take points off Chelsea and you can take points off Liverpool which is why it is the most competitive league in the world."
