Mark Hughes backs Mourinho

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has backed Jose Mourinho to turn things
around at Chelsea despite the Premier League champions' dismal start to
the season.
Chelsea have won just one of their last six games in all competitions, and
sit 15th in the Premier League following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at West
Ham.
Mourinho watched the second half of that match from the stands after
being sent off at half-time, with the Football Association subsequently
charging the Portuguese with misconduct.
Pressure is mounting on the Portuguese but, speaking ahead of Tuesday's
League Cup tie between Stoke and Chelsea, Hughes voiced his support for
his opposite number.
"He is the best manager the club has ever had," said the Welshman. "Why
would they change him?
"I don't anticipate them struggling for too much longer.
"All teams, whatever level, go through these periods, but Chelsea have
quality right the way through the club which will enable them to come
through this period."
Hughes added: "Maybe we are playing them at a good time.
"It is always difficult to play Chelsea but we are feeling good and are
looking forward to it."
