Jose Mourinho has been sacked as Chelsea manager after a 2-1 defeat by Leicester compounded his side's miserable start to the season. The Portuguese boss guided his side to the Premier League title in May, but Monday's loss was their ninth of the campaign, leaving them in 16th place, just a point above the relegation places. Mourinho, who was ready to open talks over a financial settlement to seal his exit after the defeat at West Ham at the end of October, has now seen his second spell come to an end.
