Jose Mourinho: Chelsea sack boss after Premier League slump


Jose Mourinho took charge of Chelsea for a second time in 2013Jose Mourinho has been sensationally sacked as Chelsea manager after a 2-1 defeat by Leicester 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. 

Abramovich could be forced to pay Mourinho more than £40million after the Portuguese manager signed a four-year deal this summer.
