Mourinho's job is SAFE at Chelsea... but maybe only for a fortnight

Mourinho's job is SAFE at Chelsea... but maybe only for a fortnight
Blues owner Roman Abramovich has planned to review the under-fire Portuguese manager's position during the international break in November
 Chelsea have planned to review Jose Mourinho's position during the international break in two weeks' time as the Portuguese fights to keep his job.

Mourinho is under increasing pressure after Saturday's 2-1 defeat to West Ham left the Premier League champions 15th in the table having lost five of their 10 league fixtures this season.

The former Real Madrid boss received a public vote of confidence last month, when Blues owner Roman Abramovich decided to give his manager until the two-week break in November to turn around the team's fortunes.



GAME OVER?  Forget the title: Top four is out of reach for Chelsea

Some reports have suggested that Mourinho could be sacked if Chelsea lose to Liverpool on Saturday but while patience is wearing thin at Stamford Bridge, the 52-year-old is unlikely to leave the club before the Premier League fixture away at Stoke on November 7.

After that game, Abramovich and the board are expected to reassess their options with the club's chances of reaching the top four a prominent factor in their decision. The Blues are already nine points behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

Preferred replacements such as Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone will not be available until next summer so Chelsea would have to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season.
