Mourinho sacked after Chelsea crisis meeting
Jose Mourinho has ended his three-year reign as Chelsea manager
following his latest bust up with owner Roman Abramovich, according to
reports.
Abramovich called crisis talks following Tuesday night's disappointing
1-1 draw with Norwegian minnows Rosenborg in the Champions League
where the fractious duo had furious falling out.
Mourinho is believed to have informed senior players of his departure
following training on Wednesday. One of those players insists that the
manager has not resigned but has been sacked by the Blues.
During the launch of a new Chelsea documentary - Blue Revolution - at
the Vue cinema in Fulham on Thursday night an emotional Mourinho
refused to talk to the press unaware the story had been leaked. He is
understood to have confirmed his departure to the players in
attendance, which did not include Frank Lampard and John Terry.
Mourinho's rocky relationship with Abramovich is public knowledge and
despite an apparent thaw in relations last season the duo were again
at odds over the role of £30million striker Andrei Shevchenko and the
Blues' dour style of football even before Tuesday's result brought
events to a head.
The Portuguese manager, who has won the Champions League with Porto
and two Premier League titles as Chelsea manager, was the subject of
continual scrutiny last season and hinted at an exit last summer when
he admitted he 'was a bit fed up with certain things' at the club.
Many betting companies have stopped taking odds on Mourinho quitting
Chelsea, but the club have yet to confirm the reports.
After three-years at the London club the self-styled 'Special One' is
expected to take training for the final time on Thursday, when he will
say good bye to his players.
Chelsea's next match is against Premier League champions Manchester
United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
