» Jose Mourinho Sacked As Chelsea Manager «

Chelsea have sacked manager Jose Mourinho seven
months after he led them to the Premier League title.
The 52-year-old Portuguese had been in his second spell
at the club, taking charge in June 2013.
Chelsea finished eight points clear last season and also
won the League Cup, but have endured a terrible start to
their defence, losing nine of their 16 league games so far.
Mourinho's final match was Monday's 2-1 defeat at
leaders Leicester City.
Pep Guardiola, Guus Hiddink, Brendan Rodgers and Juande
Ramos have all been touted as possible successors
He leaves with Chelsea just a point off the relegation zone
and 20 points behind Leicester.
Champions League qualification via one of the top four
spots in the Premier League looks almost impossible.
However, the Blues are through to the last 16 of European
football's biggest club competition, where they will face
French champions Paris St-Germain in February and
March.
Mourinho only signed a new four-year contract on 7 August
and is Chelsea's most successful manager.
He won three Premier League titles, two of those in his
first spell between 2004 and 2007.
The Portuguese has also won the FA Cup, in 2007, and the
League Cup three times - in 2005, 2007 and 2015.
It has not only gone wrong in the Premier League for
Mourinho, he has also had his issues off the pitch.
A 2-2 draw with Swansea on 8 August was overshadowed
by a fallout with his medical team, in particular club doctor
Eva Carneiro.
Carneiro had her role downgraded after Mourinho said his
medical staff were "naive" for running onto the pitch to
treat attacking midfielder Eden Hazard.
She eventually left on 22 September and is now taking
legal action against Mourinho and the Blues.
Mourinho also received a suspended stadium ban and
£50,000 fine for claiming referees were "afraid" to award
his team penalties in a 3-1 home loss to Southampton in
October.
He subsequently had to serve a one-match stadium ban
and pay a £40,000 fine for his behaviour during a 2-1
defeat by West Ham, when he spoke to referee Jon Moss
at half-time.
