Jose's Job 'Not Under Threat'  (Sky Sports)

Jose Mourinho's position as Chelsea manager is not under immediate threat, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

Chelsea lost for the sixth time in 11 Premier League games, beaten 3-1 by Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Despite the defeat, there are no talks, according to Sky sources, taking place within the club's hierarchy regarding the manager's future, and that the Portuguese is "planning as usual" for Wednesday's Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev.

Ramires had given Mourinho an early boost, only for two goals from Philippe Coutinho and a late strike from Christian Benteke secured Liverpool's first victory in the Premier League under new manager Klopp.

Chelsea's defeat means this is their worst start to a league season since 1978/79 with Mourinho losing nine of his last 17 games in all competitions compared to just four defeats in 54 games last season.

After the match at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho and his coaching staff had a debrief in the centre circle, and in his post-match press conference admitted he was reassured by the Chelsea fans chanting his name before, during and after the defeat.

"I take comfort [from that] but what feeds me is not just the support of the fans. What feeds me is the recognition of our work, and the recognition is by getting results," he admitted.

"I have some players who are really sad in the dressing room. I am full of respect for them. We see it, match after match, that as professionals they are not getting the respect that they deserve. We are not going to have a great Saturday dinner."

Asked what happens next, he admitted it wouldn't be a pleasant evening and added: "I will go home, find a sad family and try to watch some of the rugby and disconnect a little bit from this. Then I will prepare the next training session [on Sunday] morning."

Klopp, who himself endured a difficult period at Borussia Dortmund last season only to be backed by the club's board, admitted he was sympathetic to Mourinho's plight, and backed him to turn the situation around.

"He is a great coach - nobody in this room is in any doubt that he is one of the best in the world," Klopp said.

"These things happen. I had a similar situation with Dortmund last year but the good thing was nobody in the club was doubting my position. Nobody. I never felt pressure. I've got to feel for him, of course."
