The Argentine manager has been one of the most vocal opponents of the technology. Earlier this evening, it was revealed that Premier League clubs will put the issue of keeping VAR in next season to a vote, Pulse Sports reported.
When asked about this development, the 52-year-old kept his cards close to his chest, saying it was not his decision.
“It's not my decision. We live in an age of technology and for me it's not about yes or no about VAR, it's about improving how we use it.”
