Embattled coach Jose Mourinho SACKED by Chelsea after disastrous Premier League start as billionaire club owner, Roman Abramovich calls time on the portuguese second spell with the London club.
Embattled Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho has been sensationally sacked as the Blues manager after a 2-1 defeat by Leicester city 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 at Stamford Bridge come to an end.
But, having only signed a new four-year-deal in the summer, there is likely to be conflict over the severance package offered by Chelsea.
It is the second time Mourinho has left Stamford Bridge under a cloud after ending his first spell as Blues boss in 2007.
