Chelsea star Ramires is adamant that despite the club’s poor form, manager Jose Mourinho has not lost the dressing room, according to reports from the Mirror.

Mourinho’s future at the club has been thrown into major doubt recently following their disappointing start to the campaign, in which the champions sit 16^th on the Premier League table after eight games.

And amid the speculation, the Portuguese boss himself revealed that he will leave if his squad no longer wants him at the helm, but Ramires insisted that ‘the Special One’ has the full support from his players.

He said: “We’ve not lost a bit of trust in Jose. Everyone trusts him. We think he is the best manager for us.

“Obviously when things don’t go the way that everyone expects a lot of questions are asked. But we still trust him.

“I understand perfectly where he is coming from with what he said regarding where, if he didn’t have the confidence of the players he would step aside. But that’s not the case at all. We are all together.

“Maybe it’s a shared guilt because when things don’t got the way that everyone expects people look at the players and the manager. But we are all working together to get out of this situation - we want to be at the top of the table. Not the bottom.”

After the sacking of Brendan Rodgers from Liverpool, Mourinho is the bookies’ next in line to get axed in the English top flight, even though club owner Roman Abramovich already gave his vote of confidence for the Portuguese.

The Blues will hope to begin a good run of form starting with their clash against relegation battlers Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge next weekend.
