Chelsea chiefs are not currently considering sacking Mauricio Pochettino after Sunday's depressing defeat to Wolves, reports claim.
The Blues hierarchy is still behind the Argentine head coach despite his team dropping into the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Chelsea were beaten 4-2 by Wolves at Stamford Bridge, the second successive league match they have conceded four goals, with Thiago Silva's wife appearing to call for Pochettino to get the axe after the final whistle.
Supporters vented their frustration during the game and even chanted the names of former manager Jose Mourinho and previous owner Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea sit 11th in the table with just nine wins from their 23 matches so far this season, 15 points off the top four.
Boehly has spent over £1billion on new players since he bought the club in May 2022 and splashed out on a host of big-money signings in Pochettino's first transfer window in charge.
Pochettino has been unable to get a tune out of his squad on a consistent basis, with injuries having a major impact on a lack of regularity in selection.
Sunday's loss was arguably his lowest moment yet since he returned to English football last July.
But The Telegraph claims Pochettino's job is safe for the time being as Chelsea chiefs don't want to fire another coach during a season.
Both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were relieved of their duties during last season.
Boehly currently does not want to make a change and has not even considered the possibility of sacking Pochettino.
However, the same outlet claims Pochettino has work to do to convince Boehly and fellow co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali that he is making progress.
It is claimed Chelsea will likely assess Pochettino's performance at the end of the season and he faces a fight to save his job if he doesn't gain any form of European qualification.
The west London club are in the final of the Carabao Cup, where they face Liverpool at Wembley on February 25.
An FA Cup fourth-round replay against Aston Villa is on the horizon, with Chelsea heading to Villa Park on Wednesday evening.
Victory in that match will certainly ease some of the pressure from fans on both Pochettino and the Chelsea board.

Chelsea took an early lead on Sunday through Cole Palmer but the joy was shortlived, with Wolves scoring the next four goals in the game including a Matheus Cunha hat-trick.
Pochettino accepted responsibility for the defeat and apologised to the fans afterwards.
He said: "I am so disappointed, we need to change this feeling, and I apologise to the fans.
"I say thank you to the fans who kept going to the end helping the team and supporting the team.

"The main problem was that we felt the pressure and the stress to win, to play well, to perform.
"We didn’t have time when Palmer scored to build our momentum in the game and to dominate and play easy and feel confident.
"I am the first one responsible for this situation, and on what we showed today we are not good enough.
"We didn’t manage the situation properly and of course no one can be safe. We are all responsible, but also the players. The players need to take responsibility like I do."
