Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he cannot promise top four

By , Staff Reporter
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says that he cannot guarantee that the team will finish the Premier League season in the top four.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he cannot guarantee that he will guide the team to a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

The Blues comfortably won the title in the 2014-15 campaign, but they have struggled this term as they currently reside 15th in the table, 11 points behind leaders Manchester City.

In this afternoon's press conference, Mourinho, who has led the team to just three league wins this season, was asked if the club can qualify for the Champions League, to which he replied: "I can't promise."

The Portuguese coach added: "I think Chelsea is a big club, is the club that I chose to come to. Liverpool is a big club, Manchester United is a super big club.

"Last season Liverpool win nothing and didn't qualify for Champions League and they are still a big club and two years ago Manchester United didn't even qualify for the Champions League, or Europa League and they are still a monster club."

Chelsea are nine points adrift of a top-four place ahead of Saturday's clash against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
