The executive director of the London club, Peter Kenyon, confirmed that Jose Mourinho will definitely not be fired after this season.
Lately, there have been many reports in the media claiming that the Portuguese specialist had a falling out with club owner Roman Abramovich and would be forced to leave.
Jose Mourinho himself also said that due to constant speculation, he is not certain about his future.
However, P. Kenyon strongly denied all this, stating: "Jose's contract is valid until 2010 and we have no intention of firing him. The board supports him, and that is extremely important".
Coaches like Guus Hiddink, Jurgen Klinsmann, and others were linked to the possibility of taking over the reins of Chelsea.
"There were about 14 candidates mentioned in the press, but we have no list and do not intend to create one," - reassured one of the Chelsea executives.
