Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho has been shown the exit door by the reigning Premier
league champions, according to reports in England.
After the
Blues’ League success last season in his second spell at the helm, the
Portuguese manager has endured a disastrous start this season, losing nine of
his first 16 games of the season to sit just one point above the relegation
zone.
Mourinho’s
last game in charge was Monday’s 2-1 loss to Leicester City, who lead the
English standings, a mammoth 20 points clear of last year’s champions.
Mourinho
signed a four-year deal in August with the London club, yet his poor start and
lack of results has seen him ousted from the club with which he won three EPL
titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
An official
statement on Mourinho's departure is yet to be made by the club.
It is
unclear who will take over from the decorated manager, with former coach Carlo Ancelotti,
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola and former Tottenham Hotspur coach Juande
Ramos the early contenders.
Chelsea face
fellow strugglers Sunderland in their next league clash on Saturday.
