THIERRY HENRY ON JOSE MOURINHO..
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes only one man is capable of turning Chelsea’s season around – and it’s their current manager, Jose Mourinho.
Writing in his latest column for The Sun, Henry says it would make “no sense” for Roman Abramovich to sack the Portuguese coach, despite the fact Chelsea have made a dreadful start to the 2015-16 campaign.
The retired France international believes sacking Mourinho would be a “massive mistake” after handing him a four-year contract in August and labelled Chelsea’s current boss as “one of the greats”.
“There is only one man who can turn Chelsea’s season around and he is already in place at Stamford Bridge,” Henry explained. “Jose Mourinho is the club’s most successful manager and it makes no sense for them to get rid of the man who put them on the football map.
“When he said the other week that there is no better manager for Chelsea out there, he was telling the truth.
“It would be a massive mistake to even think about replacing him so soon after handing him a new four-year contract.
“We want the best managers in the world working in England. And Mourinho is one of the greats.
“So I hope that Roman Abramovich gives him the time and respect he deserves to rectify the first serious slump of his career.
“The only people in football who would be happy to see him sacked are the other managers who know he can stop them from winning the title.
