Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho will not be sacked during the international break
after owner Roman Abramovich decided against making a change at this
stage of the season.
Goal
understands that Abramovich is reluctant to remove Mourinho now due to a
lack of available replacements, with top targets Pep Guardiola and
Diego Simeone unavailable mid-season.
Mourinho
is under huge pressure with Chelsea sitting 16th in the Premier League
table and many players understood to have turned against the Portuguese.
Last
season’s champions have lost seven of their 12 league fixtures this
season, the latest a 1-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday during which
Mourinho served a one-match stadium ban.
Chelsea
backed Mourinho with an unprecedented vote of confidence last month but
have since lost three of their four Premier League matches and been
knocked out of the League Cup.
