BREAKING: JOSE
MOURINHO 'SACKED BY
CHELSEA'
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.
