Chelsea remain confident under-fire manager Jose Mourinho can salvage the club's season despite a nightmare start to the defence of their Premier League title. Technical director Michael Emenalo, a close confidante of owner Roman Abramovich, stated the struggling Stamford Bridge club hasn't lost faith in Mourinho.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph's Sam Wallace, Emenalo suggested Abramovich is still committed to the man he brought back for a second stint in the dugout in 2013:
Right now, the statement from the owner and from the board comes from a belief that we are in a position to trust a manager who has delivered so much.
