John Terry has offered his support to under-fire manager Jose Mourinho and backed him to stay at Chelsea for years to come.

Reports this week suggested that Mourinho was on the brink of losing his job following the club's dreadful start to the season.

However, speaking ahead of Chelsea's Champions League match with Dynamo Kiev, Terry gave a vote of confidence for the Portuguese manager.

Terry said: "It's not going to come to [him leaving]. The club have shown faith in the best manager in the history of this football club. He's by far, by a long, long way the very best."

"It's not what ifs. For me we're going to turn this around. I'm adamant we're going to turn this round and he'll be in charge for the rest of the season and long after I've finished playing at this football club."
