Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Chelsea after a
meeting with the club's hierarchy on Thursday.
The 52-year-old, who guided Chelsea to the
Premier League title last season, ends his second
stint at Stamford Bridge with the team
languishing in 16th place, having registered just
15 points from 16 games.
A statement from Chelsea read: "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."
