“I would like to come back to work in England”, he said

Filipe Luis, the former Chelsea left-back, who was signed from Atletico Madrid 18 months ago, claimed that Mourinho’s outspoken comments in the media had a detrimental effect on the squad.

Mourinho and his side have endured an terrible start to the season, picking up just 11 points from their first 12 matches. They already chose to keep him, and I think they made a good choice.

Fans are starting to wonder if new players are not needed at the club and if they are not needed soon enough to replace a few underperforming players with the manager Jose Mourinho himself having singled out a few of his players as performing woefully in recent times.

As the pressure ramps up on Mourinho, as he remains the bookmakers’ favourite to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked, Begovic says that it is foolish to talk about the Portuguese’s qualities. The manager has helped me a lot in the year and a half I have been at Chelsea and I will always be grateful to him. The Blues were in absolute disarray under AVB as they began to lose their identity as a defensively-solid club and numerous club’s veterans were ignored in favor of the manager’s “project”. “Andre’s mistake was to think that it was going to be easy – that we just had to do things his way and we would win”. You have to work slowly to change.

According to the report, Mourinho’s job as manager is not in danger unlike the rumors that he will be sacked because of the Blues’ poor performance.

He said at a press conference: “Look, my third season in Porto, I didn’t have a third season”, he said.

“During the Dynamo Kiev game the supporters were singing his name”.

“I know that the president tried to have him here instead of Benitez, but Mourinho said he didn’t want it and that it wasn’t the right time to come back”. When we won the Decima [Real’s 10th Champions League crown in 2013] at Madrid, he sent me a message of congratulations.

However, in May 2015, club president Florentino Perez announced that the club’s board had taken “a very hard decision” to relieve Ancelotti of his duties with immediate effect. “We have to start winning and moving up the table now”.
