Abramovich would be foolish to sack Mourinho, says Ferguson

Alex Ferguson believes it would be “foolish” for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to sack manager Jose Mourinho and backed the Portuguese to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho has seen his position put back in the spotlight following Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth. He accepted after that loss that the defending Premier League champions now face a battle to finish in the top four, with the Blues in 14th place and just three points clear of the relegation zone.
