Chelsea captain John Terry says he is ready to plead with the club's hierarchy to keep Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.
The England skipper was responding to reports that the former Porto boss may be aiming to depart The Blues after an alleged falling out with owner Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea board.
The Portuguese tactician refused to confirm if he will remain in his post with the West London club next season, and the situation has left Terry with plenty of concern for the club's future.
"We all agree that we don't want Jose to go and if it takes five or six of the senior players to tell them so, then that's what we're prepared to do," Terry said.
"Jose is the best in the business, there's no doubt about that, and I'm sure he will be for the next 20 years.
"That's what we want at Chelsea - the best and only the best. So there is no way we want the best boss around to be walking away.
"We don't want to see top people leaving. Jose Mourinho must stay.
"We are all loyal to Jose. We know what he has done for us as players and for this club as a whole.
"This situation is putting pressure on everyone at this club."
Despite the ongoing reports that Mourinho is set to leave in the summer, Terry is convinced he will remain in charge.
"I am convinced he will stay," Terry added. "I think he will be here again next season, I really do.
"I don't think he will be going anywhere."
