Chelsea back Jose Mourinho despite poor start

Jose Mourinho has received a full vote of confidence from Chelsea despite their slow start to the 2015-16 season.

Poor results and controversy off the pitch has seen the Portuguese manager be under an increased amount of pressure in their pursuit of a successful title defence.

Chelsea are 16th in the Premier League table with eight points from a possible twenty-four as their chances of a successful title defence slips away with every defeat.

Off the back of the Blues’ 3-1 defeat to Southampton at Stamford Bridge last weekend, Mourinho said he would walk away from the club if the playing squad no longer trusted him to lead the club.
