Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins has claimed that Jose Mourinho will not be replaced by the Blues board.
The Portuguese boss's future at Stamford Bridge has been the subject of speculation following a poor start to the season, with six defeats, two draws and just three victories.
Wilkins told BBC Sport on Sunday: "[The players'] lethargy without the ball is apparent - they don't have the same determination they had last season and the desire to win the ball back isn't there.
"In any dressing room, if a player isn't selected, he isn't happy. You keep 11 people happy, the rest are disgruntled.
"I think Jose will stay in the job. Look at who can take over. Only Carlo Ancelotti is out there who could come in but I can't see them replacing Jose."
Mourinho signed a new four-year contract at Chelsea in August.
