(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will have the full support from his players to help the Italian avoid suffering the same fate as Jose Mourinho two years back, the Premier League champions' goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said. Courtois compared the situation to that of Mourinho, who won the league in 2014-15 but was sacked the following season after a poor run of results. "We are ready to fight for the coach," Courtois told Standard Sport. "I remember what happened two years ago under Jose Mourinho and things started to be said, there were stories about the dressing room without knowing what was happening. Fourth-placed Chelsea face Everton in the League Cup fourth round on Wednesday before travelling to 19th-placed Bournemouth in the league on Saturday.
