52-year-old Jose Mourinho, who guided
the Chelsea team to the Premier League title last term, has left Stamford brigde by mutual consent after the
club deemed results "not good enough this season."
The former Real Madrid manager who was rewarded for last
season's success with a new 4-year contract worth £30 million, which was signed
in August, ends his second stint at the London club with the team languishing
in 16th place in the table, registering just 15 points from 16 games. continue below for the statement by the club
A statement from Chelsea Football Club read:
"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."
