Middlesbrough manager and close friend Aitor Karanka believes Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will help his side bounce back from their hugely disappointing start to this Premier League season.
Karanka is still a firm believer that Mourinho is still the best man for the job in West London and is adamant that the Blues will come out strong from this tough start.
The 3-1 defeat at Everton leaves Mourinho’s side sitting in 17th place in the Premier League table, 11 points behind league leaders Manchester City and we’re only in September.
Mourinho’s frustrations following the loss became evident when, at the end of the game, he was involved in a heated row with Toffee’s boss Roberto Martinez.
The Portuguese boss was highly critical of his opponent on the touchline, after not allowing him to speak in the press conference first so the Blues could take to the road back to London following such a defeat.
Karanka, who was Mourinho’s assistant during the pair’s time at Real Madrid, said to the Northern Echo:
I think, no I know, he’s the best manager in the world, he knows what he has to do and for sure Chelsea is going to fight until the end for all of the trophies this season again.
I don’t know how many challenges he has had in his career so for this reason he has been a manager for, I don’t remember now, 12/13 seasons and for this reason he’s the best. For this reason, I am sure he is going to be fighting to the end for all the trophies.
