I still have Roman Abramovich backing says Jose Mourinho

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho thinks owner Roman Abramovich will stick by him, despite the club's poor season.

The champions, who are 14th, have lost eight of their 15 Premier League matches so far, are yet to clinch Champions League last-16 qualification and are out of the League Cup.

Asked why he would be retained, Mourinho said: "Because I think I did lots of good things for this club.

"I don't think the owner is a person to change with the wind."

The Portuguese, who won his third league title with the club last season, added: "Abramovich believed in me twice: one, when he brought me back to the club, and the second time when he gave me a new four-year contract in the summer.

"I know the wind of results is an important wind and I know this wind is really strong because the results in the Premier League are really bad."
