Chelsea FC has publicly offered coach Jose Mourinho their 'full support' despite a run of just two wins in eight Premier League games and a home defeat on last Saturday.
EPL Champions, Chelsea FC, have offered embattled manager, Jose Mourinho and his squad a vote of confidence following their 3-1 defeat at home to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
The club's poor form sees them win just two of their first eight games of the 2015-16 campaign and sit 16th in the table, and Mourinho insisted after the defeat to Southampton that he would only walk away from Chelsea if the players no longer trusted him.
The club's management has now released a statement offering their public backing to the Portuguese tactician. The statement reads:
"The club wants to make it clear that Jose continues to have our full support. As Jose has said himself, results have not been good enough and the team's performances must improve. However, we believe that we have the right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad with which to do it."
Prior to the above statement, the Chelsea boss displayed his defiance in the face of criticism following the shocking loss at Stamford Bridge saying;
"If the club sacks me, they sack the best manager this club had. And secondly, the message is again the message of bad results. The manager is guilty. This is the message, not just these players, the other ones before, they got [the message] during a decade.
"This is a moment for everybody to assume their responsibilities. To stick together. This is what I want," he told reporters.
