The Chelsea manager's agent says the club won't sack him because they
would be unable to find a better coach and is adamant the entire squad are
behind him
Jose Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes, has ruled out the Portuguese leaving
Chelsea despite their poor start to the season.
Mourinho's position at Stamford Bridge has come under scrutiny following
the club's disastrous start to the season, which has seen them lose six of
their first 11 Premier League games.
However, Mendes is confident Mourinho, who is now in his second spell
with the Blues, can turn things around and believes no manager in the world
is capable of filling his shoes.
"He doesn't need to prove anything to anybody," he told BBC Sport.
"He knows what to do. Many people are saying these things but there is no
chance [he will leave]. He will solve the problem. He is the best."
Mourinho eased the pressure on his shoulders by overseeing a 2-1 win
against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Wednesday night when
supporters chanted his name.
The Blues now have a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stage, but
face Stoke City on Saturday with question marks still hanging over his
future.
However, Mendes pointed to the success Mourinho has had at every club
he has managed and says it is ludicrous to question his ability after his first
real taste of adversity as a coach.
He said: "At FC Porto he won the Europa League, the league, the Champions
League. He won everything.
"After that, in Chelsea he was amazing. After 50 years he won the league
and everyone was very happy with him.
"At Inter Milan, nobody expected Inter could win the Champions League - no
way. Even the quarter-finals seemed quite impossible.
"At Real Madrid against the best team in the world he still won the league.
He is special.
"The reaction from the supporters tells you everything. They like him.
"Everyone, players, coaches, you have good moments and bad moments. It
is impossible to find someone like him to solve the problem."
