Nigerian born Emenalo who is the technical director of Chelsea and close confidant of owner Roman Abramovich has revealed that they will stick with Mourinho.

“Right now, the
statement from the owner and from the board comes from a belief that we
are in a position to trust a manager who has delivered so much,” Emenalo told the Telegraph.
“We are in a position to trust a group of players who have delivered in the last couple of seasons.

“We are in a
position to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel and therein
lies our confidence, that we can get out of the situation.”
