Mourinho is no more Chelsea’s manager

It was simply inevitable. Jose Mourinho was dismissed as manager of Chelsea after a run of unsatisfying results and the statement of the Portuguese at the beginning of the week, in which he said he felt betrayed by some of his star players. The way, Mourinho was sacked is very interesting. According to a British media, The Special One was fired shortly after the team’s Christmas lunch, which the coaching staff and the players of the club have organized traditional base in Cobham. The mood among the players was very good, but, however, the situation with the manager wasn’t the same, who after the defeat to Leicester on Monday night has been pretty grim.

Shortly after the lunch, when the players have already begun to leave the base, there arrived the owner – Roman Abramovich and the board members. This has been noticed by one of the players, who hasn’t left yet. The player has immediately sent a message to the rest of his teammates. So, at that moment, all have been waiting for the big news. The meeting between the bosses, which was the third this week, ended only for about five minutes. Then, Mourinho was invited to a conversation with Abramovich, the president Bruce Buck and director Eugene Tenenbaum. This meeting lasted 10 minutes and the bosses informed Mourinho of their final decision. Of course, that the Portuguese was already aware of his fate, since for several weeks, lawyers and Chelsea Manager agent – Jorge Mendes, have held discussions regarding the termination of the contract and the amount of compensation. However, The Special One hoped to get another chance, because of the easy program, according to which in the next two rounds of The Premier League Chelsea will host Sunderland and Watford and two victories would have improved his chances to stay.

The board, however, was not on this opinion, as evidenced by the statement of the Technical director of the club – Michael Emenalo: “Although we have huge admiration to the man, who has done so much for the club, we must acknowledge the fact that Chelsea is in trouble. The results are not good, and it looks there are tangible differences between the players and the manager, so it’s time for action. The owner was forced to take this difficult decision for the good of the club.”

It is expected that in the near future, Chelsea will officially announce that Guus Hiddink will lead the team until the end of the season. The strange thing is that this news has been confirmed by a surprising source – the official “Twitter” account of the Australian Football Federation, where Hiddink works. The “Kangaroos” rushed to greet the Dutchman for his new post and wish him all the best, although his appointment is not confirmed by Chelsea.
