Chelsea legend gives Mourinho his backing

Chelsea legend Ron Harris is adamant that boss Jose Mourinho is the best man to turn around the form at Stamford Bridge according to The Mirror.

Following the 2-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday, the Blues have now lost five out of their first 10 Premier League fixtures, picking up only three wins along the way. The current champions are currently sitting in 15th position in the league in what has been an abysmal start to their defence of the title.

During the defeat at Upton Park, the Portuguese boss was sent to the stands following feisty discussions with the match officials at half-time because of the sending off to Serbian midfielder, Nemanja Matic.

Pressure is mounting on Mourinho, with Pep Guardiola being linked with a move for his job in the dugout in West London. However, Harris, who made 795 appearances for Chelsea, is backing the former Porto, Inter and Real Madrid manager to turn around fate at the club.

They’ve had one or two important decisions go against them and it’s only natural people get a bit irate. Jose has always been a winner and, if he sits down and thinks about it today, maybe he could have handled it in a different manner. He most probably regrets it. I do like Mourinho and I have no doubt he will keep his job.
