Luiz Felipe Scolari is refusing to read too much into speculation surrounding his future.
The Chelsea boss insists he does not fear the axe, despite seeing his side crushed 3-0 by title rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
The Brazilian has admitted in the aftermath of the Old Trafford mauling that his side face an uphill battle if they are take the Premier League crown this year.
That has led to rumours suggesting Blues owner Roman Abramovich is ready to cut his losses on a man who only arrived in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat over the summer.
Whether these reports carry any weight remains to be seen, but for now Scolari remains fully focused on helping Chelsea recover from their weekend setback.
"If I lose my job, I will have another job," he said defiantly.
"Maybe tomorrow, maybe after one year or two. I've worked for 25 years.
"It's not my business to say this or think about this. The people, the board, the club, need to look at what we work at every day and say something.
"The club helps me. It is no different. Until the last day in my life I will say the same.
"They help me one million per cent. I don't believe that any people that are involved in this group, in this house, believe different.
"Maybe, maybe, I am wrong. But I don't think so. The players and the fans, and the directors, it's the same. The trouble is the mistakes we've made in the last five games minimum. Only this. Not more.
"They all support me, all the people here. I have a good relationship with the secretary (Dave Barnard). He says 'hello' every day.
"As is the man in charge of the restaurant and the one in charge of the pitch. They try to do the best for Chelsea, sure."
He added: "It's not problem for me. I like every day in London.
"But if I go back to Brazil, I will like Brazil the same. When I was in Kuwait, I loved Kuwait. I had three fantastic years in Saudi Arabia. I love life and I work hard every day. If I lose or do not lose my job, I will be the same. I am the same."
