Jose Mourinho vows not to walk away from Chelsea despite dreadful start to the season

Jose Mourinho has denied he has fallen out with the Chelsea heirarchy

JOSE MOURINHO says his job at Chelsea is safe - and vowed he will not walk away.

 

Chelsea go into today's clash with Everton at Goodison Park with just one win from the first four games of their title defence - and with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois ruled out for four months after knee surgery.

Rows with his medical staff and hints that he has been unhappy with the Chelsea board's efforts in a disappointing transfer window had pointed to a possible deterioration of his relationship with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.

 

Mourinho left Chelsea for the first time in September 2007 after disagreements with that hierarchy and there had been speculation of a repeat.

"Let's be objective. I don't want to leave the club, in any circumstances," he said. "And the club doesn't want me to leave. I'm not going to walk away. The club is not going to sack me. Full stop.

 

"Why is it different from 2007? Do people think, if myself and Mr Abramovich collided, I would be back three years later?

"Just because I left it does not mean we collided. Right now we have one problem. We are not getting the results we expect to get.

"I have never had a start like this - four matches and just four points. I'm not happy - and I'm happy that I'm not happy."
