Well well well, the bets were on Martin Jol to be the first to be sacked but it’s another London based club that lost their manager as Chelsea and Jose Mourinho have seperated ways by mutual consent.
Mourinho caught Chelsea’s hierarchy by surprise after the premiere of the club’s documentary ‘Blue Revolution’ by demanding talks at Stamford Bridge over his future.
Those talks continued late into last night, but his players were left in no doubt that the 1-1 draw against Rosenborg in the Champions League on Tuesday night was his last match in charge.
Mourinho is understood to have sent text messages to five players at 6pm on Wednesday night and by midnight the entire first-team squad were aware that he had left.
It is now very interesting to see who will replace the Portugese with Marcello Lippi tipped to be the next man in charge.
**UPDATE: It now seems that Mourinho was sacked because of a spectacular bust-up with captain John Terry!.
