Report: Jose Mourinho not under immediate threat of being sacked

Jose Mourinho's position as Chelsea manager is not under immediate threat, according to a report.

Speculation during the week suggested that the Portuguese would be sacked if his side lost to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge following their poor start to the season.

Despite taking the lead through Ramires, the Blues succumbed to their sixth defeat of the campaign as a brace from Philippe Coutinho and a strike from Christian Benteke handed Jurgen Klopp his first win in the Premier League.

Mourinho was silent on his future after the final whistle, but there are no plans from the club's hierarchy to remove the 52-year-old from his role ahead of their Champions League clash against Dynamo Kiev next week, according to Sky Sports News.

Chelsea are 15th in the Premier League after 11 matches this season.
