Mourinho thanks Chelsea fans for ‘amazing’ support

Jose Mourinho has expressed his appreciation to Chelsea fans after they demanded he is kept on as coach.

The supporters inside Stamford Bridge sang the Portuguese’s name, during their 2-1 win over Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday, amid talk that his future was up in the air.

Willian smashed in a stunning free-kick late in the game, to secure all three points for the blues, after Alexandra Dragovic scored at both ends.

The game ended with 40,000 fans showing their support for Mourinho.

“With Chelsea, I think this is my moment. It was amazing. The club should be proud of their fans,” he said afterwards.

“Today comes in a moment where the results are not good. It comes in a moment where you are asking for my ‘end’. The fans read newspapers. They watch tv.

“They listen to pundits, commentators, opinions, read blogs, and this was quite unbelievable what they tried to say today

“Today they tried to say: ‘We want you here.’ And, probably, they want to say: ‘All of you, let him work. We want him. Let him work.’ It was fantastic.

“The players showed they wanted to win. Today they did. Last week no, but they showed again they wanted to win. And the fans showed their passion for the club.”
