Jose Mourinho sacked as Chelsea manager - BBC Sport - http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/34670192?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_sport&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport



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.

Mourinho's legacy
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.
Troubles on and off the pitch
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.
What now for Mourinho?
It is unlikely he will be out of management
for long, given his record of success at
Chelsea and other top European clubs.
He guided Porto and Inter Milan to
Champions League glory in 2004 and 2010
respectively, then led Real Madrid to the
Spanish La Liga title in 2012.
At 52, he is still some way from retirement
age, but he has expressed a wish to coach
the English and Portuguese national sides at
some stage in his career.
In fact, he claimed he turned down the
chance to become England boss when Steve
McClaren was sacked in 2007.
Mourinho has a proven track record of
bringing success over the short-term but
doubts will remain over his ability to build
a dynasty.
Will that make his candidature less
appealing to the kind of club he is used to
managing, such as German giants Bayern
Munich, rising French stars Paris St-Germain
or Premier League duo Manchester United or
Manchester City?
What now for Chelsea?
The Blues may be struggling at the wrong
end of the Premier League table, but they
are still in the Champions League and both
domestic cups, while achieving European
qualification is not impossible.
The key for any new manager is improving
the morale of a talented squad that has
underachieved this season.
Players such as Hazard, Diego Costa,
Willian, and Oscar were key to Chelsea
winning the league title but performances
have fallen well below the heights they
reached last year.
After the 2-1 defeat by Leicester Mourinho
said he felt his "work was betrayed" by his
players, and midfielder Cesc Fabregas has
said it is time for everyone to step up.
"If you are a big player and paid like a big
player, you must play like a big player and
behave like a big player," said the Spain
international.
