Jose Mourinho insisted he will not be walking away from Stamford Bridge after watching Chelsea's season hit a new low with a crushing 3-1 home defeat by Southampton.
The defiant manager urged everyone at the club to 'stick together' and is convinced Chelsea can still finish in the top three, despite their worst start to a season for 37 years — when they were relegated.
'I don't run away,' he said. 'Two, if the club wants to sack me they have to sack me because I'm not running away from my responsibilities or my team.'
Mourinho admitted that confidence in his squad is at rock bottom, adding: 'The team try but they collpase because they are in such a low moment.'
Mourinho has described the start of this season as 'the worst of his career' but he is convinced he is the right man to lead Chelsea out of trouble.
'I'm more than convinced that we can finish in the top four and in a season so bad, finishing top four is OK.
'If the club sacks me they sack the best manager this club ever had. This is a moment for everyone to take responsibility and stick together.
'The players have to play until the end of the season with champions on their shirt and I want to work. I have a big ego, I consider myself the best. This hurts me a lot — it hurts me as a professional and hurts me because I love the club.'
