Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich would be “foolish” to dismiss manager Jose Mourinho, says former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
The reigning champions are 14th in the Premier League having lost eight of their 15 matches this season.
It has been reported that Mourinho could be sacked should the Blues fail to win their next two games.
“There is no point in sacking one of the best coaches of all time,” said Ferguson.
“He has sacked so many coaches in the last 10 years. I am sure he has learned by it.
“He has to trust and have confidence that Jose can turn it round. In every country he has managed in he has won the big trophies.
“It would be foolish to sack him. It would be bad management.”
Mourinho returned to Chelsea in the summer of 2013 and won the league and Capital One Cup in his second season, adding to the two league titles, FA Cup and two League Cups he won during his first spell at the club from 2004 to 2007.
