CFC And Jose’ Mourinho Part Company
From the official Chelsea football club website here:
“Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent.
All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013.
His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.
The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge.
The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.
There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made”
As a supporters for nigh on 50 years this is one of the low points. The directors and players have a lot to answer for and hope they are proud of seeing the club lose the greatest manager it has ever had!
Gutted and can only wish ‘the boss’ the best for the future
Good luck Jose’
Yet one more astounding example of player power and its use. The team have been determined to rid themselves of Jose and played accordingly to obtain such poor results. Watch the ‘miraculous’ rise from 17th position now.
I don,t suppose he would come to leeds.
Embarrassed by our club again.
Not at all surprised to see this news, its an inevitable part of football management and, lets face it, replacing one person is easier than replacing a whole team.
Irrespective of their relationship with management the players should have always given 100% for this Club – and its clear a number were not.
Those players who couldn’t be bothered (they know who they are) and we supporters have our own views, should be ashamed of themselves and frankly, if a number were to go I’d not be unhappy.
I only want to see players wearing our shirt who give their all to win the game, and if they aren’t prepared to do that then at least be honest, and go and play with the reserves until your contract expires.
Jose, thank you for what you have done for us and best wishes for the future, you will always be warmly welcomed back at the Bridge whenever you visit us.
I agree fully with the above sentiments, the players should hang their heads in shame but I wouldent be holding my breath anytime soon!a disgrace to their profession and our beloved club!
