There has been theme with Mourinho's third season at any club he has been at, which usually ends with the Portuguese leaving the club.

Despite the shaky results, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United coach has reiterated his commitment to the club. 

"Would I renew now? It's a hypothetical situation, I can't answer,"  Mourinho said, as per Goal.

"What I can say is that three months ago it was almost a drama to think that I could leave.

"In Budapest on the pitch I told the players that I would stay, after the Spezia game I reiterated it to the fans, two-three days later I gave my word to [president Dan] Friedkin.

"In the summer I had the biggest, most important and craziest job offer that a coach has ever had in the history of football: I rejected it precisely because of my word.

"Now it seems like I'm a problem, I don't accept it. I don't accept it because it's not true, I'm not a problem.
