Jose Mourinho Comments on Diego Costa’s Commitment to Chelsea

“He is happy here and Diego is another one who has three years on his contract and I see him staying at Chelsea for three more years, no problem”.

Mourinho remains confident that Costa will stay at Stamford Bridge, however, as Costa still has three years remaining on his current contract.

He said: “You never know – look how well Filipe Luis is doing now”. I don’t see that as a problem.

Fabregas was dropped by Mourinho for Wednesday’s win over Porto that secured Chelsea a place in the knock-out stage of the Champions League.

Burnton references “despondent on-pitch behaviour” as well as an incident that saw Costa appear to throw his bib at manager Mourinho after discovering he wouldn’t be substituted on against Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Arsenal skipper played an instrumental part in delivering Mourinho’s third title at Stamford Bridge past year, but the Portuguese says he is not alone in underperforming this term.

‘Atletico is a great club.

Costa bagged 20 goals for Jose Mourinho’s side as they wrapped up a domestic double of Premier League and Capital One Cup.

Chelsea now lie in 14th place on the log. They face table topping Leicester City on Monday night.

Ranieri revealed: “The chief executive [then Trevor Birch] told me there is a new owner and I said “me and you are the first who go home”. More than I wasn’t scoring, I wasn’t playing well either”, Costa was quoted saying to the Daily Mirror.

Mourinho says there are “lots of good coaches” in England and it is down to them to take their opportunity.
