Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will reportedly have his first book published next week amid what he has described as the "worst period" of his career.

The current English champions are already eight points off the pace in the Premier League after as many games.

The Portuguese coach has been given the club's "full support", but questions are still being asked about his long-term future as Chelsea manager.

Alongside the turmoil on the pitch, Mourinho will be required to speak to the media in a number of interviews about his new book, with his first appearance scheduled at Waterstones in London's Piccadilly, according to the Daily Mail.

The book, which is being published by Headline, will detail Mourinho's 15 years in management from the coach's point of view.
