The Portuguese boss, who has been under fire
following the Blues' poor start to the season, has
been relieved of his duties by club owner Roman
Abramovich


Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Chelsea after a
meeting with the club's hierarchy on Thursday,
according to reports.


The Blues boss has been under increasing
pressure in recent weeks as the club have slumped
to nine defeats in sixteen league games, following
a 2015-16 campaign in which the Blues swept to
the title.


After the latest defeat, to Claudio Ranieri's
Leicester, the Portuguese manager publicly
criticised his players, suggesting that members of
the playing squad had "betrayed" him and
indicating his belief that last season's form was
due to excellent managerial performances, raising
the players above their natural level.

Following those comments, Mourinho's
relationship with the Chelsea boardroom and
Roman Abramovich came under increasing strain
and now the club have acted to remove their
league-winning manager.

I have confirmed it too. Painful though best decision now.
