Agent Jorge Mendes: Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho staying put
Mourinho’s future at the club has been questioned, with the defending champions 15th in the Premier League.
Kiev defender Aleksandar Dragovic netted at the wrong end in the first half for the Ukrainians before firing past Asmir Begovic with 13 minutes to play.
The Portuguese coach is under pressure at Stamford Bridge, after the Blues lost six of their opening 11 Premier League matches.
“The game was tight and the win was very good for the team and for the fans and we are all happy”. Today came in a moment where the results have not been good.
But five minutes later, Willian ensured Chelsea rose to second in the group with seven points.
Mourinho was visibly moved by the reaction of the Chelsea fans, who chanted “stand up for the Special One” and sang his name at regular intervals through the game.
“I don’t have another way to thank them other than to give everything, which I have always done and always will do”. “I was impressed. With Chelsea, I think this is my moment”.
Chelsea are now up to second in the group and Mourinho challenged them to catch leaders Porto by winning their final two matches.
Mourinho’s wife Matilde, along with son Jose jnr and daughter Matilde jnr took their seats behind the dugout for the match.
“I have to say Dynamo are a very good team”. Jose Mourinho was ecstatic after the game and thanked the fans, saying he would “give them anything”, according to Independent.
“To have the whole stadium supporting me in a hard time is an unforgettable moment in my career”.
He explained that the Chelsea team now look panicked when they go a goal down because their confidence is low and it will only come back once they put together a run of positive results on the bounce.
The Chelsea boss, who has been privy to the knowledge of a possible exit from the club, has found a cornerstone in the Blues’ fans.
“Obviously I won’t be able to score goals every single game but I am going to try and keep doing my best”, he said. “And the fans showed their passion for the club”.
