Mourinho bemoans Chelsea luck but remains confident

Jose Mourinho is adamant he is the right man for the Chelsea job despite their defeat to Everton.

Jose Mourinho insists he is the right man to lead Chelsea, indicating that the club's poor form is down to bad luck.

The Premier League champions were beaten 3-1 by Everton on Saturday — their third loss in just five league matches this season — as substitute Steven Naismith scored a hat trick after replacing the injured Muhamed Besic early.

Mourinho accepts responsibility for Chelsea's dismal start to its title defense but doesn't think a different manager would fare any better.
