Chelsea To Sack Mourinho Before Saturday? See His Possible Replacement

Jose Mourinho’s future as Chelsea manager is in
suspense over his failure to lift the team out of
their alarming slump, according to British press
reports on Wednesday.
The Daily Mail said that the Chelsea board was due
to meet to discuss Mourinho’s position on
Wednesday, while the Daily Telegraph claimed the
club’s hierarchy was drawing up a list of potential
replacements.
Premier League champions last season, Chelsea are
currently just a point above the relegation zone after
losing nine of their 16 matches to date. They have,
however, reached the Champions League last 16.
Reports suggest it would cost Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich between £10 million ($15 million, 13.7
million euros) and £40 million to sack Mourinho for a
second time, having previously dismissed the
Portuguese in 2007.
Mourinho signed a new four-year contract in August.
Chelsea gave him a public vote of confidence in
October, but there has been no official
communication from the club on his position since
then.
Mourinho, whose side host Sunderland in the league
on Saturday, was expected to take training as usual
at the club’s training ground in Cobham, 17 miles
(27 kilometres) southwest of London, on Wednesday.
Several newspapers, including The Sun, reported
that Chelsea’s players were angered by Mourinho’s
claim that they had “betrayed” his work following
Monday’s 2-1 defeat at league leaders Leicester City.
But midfielder Cesc Fabregas says that it is the
players’ responsibility to haul the club out of their
current predicament.
“We all have to take responsibility,” Fabregas said
in a Facebook interview. “If you are a big player
and you are paid like a big player, you must play
like a big player and behave like a big player.
“We can bounce back, 100 percent. There is
enough time to achieve it, but we must start now.
It is up to us.”
