Jose Mourinho has the full support of the club’s owner despite their current plight, that’s according to the club's technical director Michael Emenalo.
The Premier League champions have lost their last three top-flight games, before that the club were forced to issue a statement to crush mounting speculation that the Special One was set for an early exit.
Mourinho's days at Stamford Bridge appear to be numbered but Emenalo says there is a confidence they can overcome their current difficulties without axing the blues boss.
“When it comes to decisions, we feel confident we have an owner who has a very good track record, who is astute at making decisions of this kind at the right time to get us to where we want to be,” Emenalo said in an interview with the The Daily Telegraph.
“We have never put ourselves in a position where we second-guess him. Part of the reasons he can make those decisions and be successful is because he has the information that a lot of people don't.”
“He has the whole picture of what is happening at the club, not just from certain individuals but every sector of the club. When he needs to make a decision he can make it.”
“Right now, the statement from the owner and from the board comes from a belief that we are in a position to trust a manager who has delivered so much.”
“We are in a position to trust a group of players who have delivered in the last couple of seasons.”
“We are in a position to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel and therein lies our confidence... that we can get out of the situation.”
Emenalo admits Abramovich is unhappy with the Blues current struggles, the defending champions are in 16th place in the Premier League table. They’ve taken just 11 points from 12 games.
“He is deeply, deeply passionate about football and about English football and this club,” the Nigerian continued.
“It means everything to him and that is why he makes the investment and wherever he is, he finds a way to watch matches.”
“He cares deeply, so when things aren't going well it affects him in the same way it affects a fan. He is feeling like the rest of us who are fans.”
