Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is not contemplating Roman Abramovich taking up his challenge to sacking him.
Jose Mourinho is confident he will be retained by Chelsea even if the club's poor start to the season translates to a mid-table finish in the Premier League.
Chelsea heads into the weekend's clash with Aston Villa sitting 16th in the Premier League, having won just two of its opening eight games.
The champions fell to a comprehensive 3-1 defeat to Southampton last time out before Mourinho lashed out at the Football Association and challenged owner Roman Abramovich to sack him for a second time.
