Chelsea squad are behind Mourinho

Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic says manager Jose Mourinho has the players` support and is the right man to revive their fortunes.

The Blues lost 1-0 at Stoke City on Saturday, a third straight Premier League defeat and are 16th in the Premier League table.

Mourinho, 52, missed the game as he served a one-match stadium ban.

"We are behind the manager - you can see that from our performances," said ex-Stoke player Begovic.

"We think he is the right man and someone we work hard for. His spirit and his presence is always there. We wanted to get a result for him."

Reigning champions Chelsea are just three points above the relegation zone after losing seven of their 12 league games. -BBC
