The Portuguese boss was
sacked this afternoon after club owner ‘Roman Abramovich’ and board had series
of emergency meetings last night. Mourinho's last match in charge was the
disastrous 2-1 loss to Leicester city and with rumors of player unrest in the media,
the club have acted and sacked him. Read Confirmation statement below;
''Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent. All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013. His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.''
''The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge. The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.''
Abramovich could be
forced to pay Mourinho more than £40million after the Portuguese manager signed
a four-year deal this summer. Guus Hiddink could be lined up as the next
replacement.
Its so unfortunate for the manager now former Chelsea Manager, to be sacked at almost end of the season. Is it worth it for Jose Mourinho to be sacked or just votes from fans and players?
