Mourinho says he'd leave Chelsea if players lose trust

Following his rant after Chelsea's defeat to Southampton, Jose Mourinho has revealed what it would take for him to leave his post.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he would only leave the Premier League champions if his squad loses trust in his ability to turn its fortunes around.

Following Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Southampton, the holder is winless in three matches and sits 16th in the table, although Mourinho suggested he was not concerned by potentially losing his job.

In a lengthy post-match interview, the Portuguese said the club would be sacking its best manager if he were to be relieved of his duties.
