| e Cole believes Jose Mourinho can guide Chelsea to the title this season |
FORMER Chelsea star Joe Cole believes Jose Mourinho can guide Chelsea to back-to-back Premier League titles, despite the Blues currently sitting 17 points behind league leaders Leicester City.
Mourinho's men have suffered a dreadful start to their title defence and are just two points above the bottom three after 15 games.
But Cole believes Mourinho, who has faced speculation regarding his future at Stamford Bridge, can trigger a change in fortunes to such an extent that Chelsea could finish as champions again.
"Anything is possible, and that's why we watch football," Cole, who won the league twice under Mourinho, told Sky Sports.
"You can't rule them out as champions…that team could beat everyone from now until the end of the season.
"I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's football. It'll be interesting in the next few weeks. The fans haven't turned, they're right behind the manager and the chairman.
"The main thing you've got to think about is you've got the best manager in the world there…fact.
"That's not down to opinion, he's the most decorated over the different leagues.
"For Chelsea to move forward, you've got to stick with the manager and let him do what he does best. I don't think anyone can dispute his record and I'm sure he'll be relishing turning it around."
