Mourinho had been rewarded for last season's
success with a new four-year contract worth £30
million, which was signed in August.
A statement from Chelsea read: "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."
