Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that it would be normal for him to fulfil his long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
The defending Premier League champions have struggled this season, losing eight of their 15 top-flight fixtures, but despite continued speculation about his position, Mourinho says that he expects to remain at the club until 2019.
The 52-year-old told reporters: "I think that the bad results are not normal, but the chance for every manager to do his work is and finish what he started is. What is not normal is what is happening now.
"I imagine myself finishing my contract with Chelsea. I have three-and-a-half years on my contract. After that I imagine myself coaching - not every club, there are some clubs I will never manage - but every club in the world."
Chelsea currently sit in 14th position in the standings, 17 points adrift of leaders Leicester City, who they play on Monday night.
