Whenever you are under performing leading a side and media is spreading rumors about your sacking, it becomes necessary for you to clear your stand in case club owners make a unlikely decision and if we are talking about English premier league defenders, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you are not going anywhere even if you fail to defend your title. This season is undoubtedly a complete reversal to the last one when Blues were ruling the table, now, they are nowhere around top four which is itching every Chelsea fan including second term serving manger as well, yet Portuguese strongly believes he will be there at Stamford Bridge even if they end their current campaign residing in the middle of the table. In English soccer, if you succeed to secure a place among top four, it is generally taken as a good performance but when a high profile club like Chelsea fail to do so, manager is the first one to face owners heat and this could exactly be the case unless there is no reason Mourinho needs to come forward to issue his defense.
Replying over the questions about their latest position in table and if he can bypass a bad season record, former Everton boss, said, “Yes. No. I was not told that because we don’t expect to finish mid-table. It’s different for many reasons, since the moment I came back in 2013, when I had my first conversation with the owner and the board in 2013. Somebody will be out (of the top four). Do I think it’s Chelsea? No.”
If we look at leaderboard, it is completely a reversal where North Londoners are way behind of leader Manchester City by a good ten points, which means, Stamford Bridge side would have to win at least five to six games to even think of taking a space among top four which looks highly unlikely this year. Replying how owners are taking his performance this season, former Real Madrid boss added, “I met the owner before dinner so, when I went to dinner, I knew. But even before that, I knew what brought me here. I know the conversation we had two years ago.
“I know what made me sign a new contract, and the reasons why the owner and the board decided to give me a new contract. They didn’t have to. I had still two more years, so they didn’t have to give me a new contract.”
