Jose Mourinho survives meeting of Chelsea board and will not be sacked

Jose Mourinho has survived a meeting of Chelsea's board following Saturday's disastrous 3-1 defeat against Southampton

Mourinho feared he would be sacked after Chelsea slipped to their sixth defeat of the season and even appeared to challenge Roman Abramovich to sack him after the game.

Instead he has been given a stay of execution and has been given the support of the board as they attempt to turn their season around.

It hit a new low following the defeat, leading Mourinho to launch into a seven-and-a-half minute monologue live on Sky TV. 

He said: 'I don't run away. If the club wants to sack me they have to sack me because I'm not running away from my responsibilities or my team.'

Despite Abramovich being furious at Chelsea's current form, there is no immediate danger of Mourinho losing his job.

The Russian knows that Mourinho would never return to the club for a third time and doesn't want to make a snap decision he will later regret.

Abramovich had to pay £18m to Mourinho when he ended his first spell back in September 2007 following a series of disagreements.

The owner also realises that this current run of results is the worst period of Mourinho's illustrious career, something the Portuguese acknowledged himself in a press conference on Friday.

Mourinho has won three Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge as well as the FA Cup and three League Cups.

Chelsea resume after the international break with a home match against Aston Villa on October 17.
