Chelsea, to everyone’s delight, have been utterly atrocious all season and Mourinho finds himself under some serious pressure.

However, the Italian, who has since managed Real Madrid and PSG, bears no animosity towards his former club, nor about the maner of his dismissal.
Fabregas said: “I treated the people of Barcelona well”. Things are not going for us and the results don’t do justice to how we are playing.
Cesc Fabregas has insisted that he has been made a scapegoat for Chelsea’s struggles but the Spanish midfielder has backed Jose Mourinho to revive their season.
The defending champions face Norwich City in their next Premier League game at Stamford Bridge next Saturday. We’re doing things better, but we’ve had no luck. When you don’t win, everything is tougher, but we have to be united and strong with the fans and the boss. The 28-year-old believed the La Liga giants pushed him out of the Catalan club, which convinced him to leave the treble winners.
Several of the key players that Mourinho relied upon during last season’s title-winning campaign have suffered an alarming dip in form – namely, Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic. Always trying to get to the top and always fighting for things.
In an interview with Marca, Fabregas said: “The season is fucked”.
“We played really, really well in the last game at Stoke and we had so many chances but unfortunately, the ball does not want to go in at the moment”. However, Mourinho was not the most popular figure while in charge in Madrid, especially in his final season, and he would be a controversial appointment in future years.
Fabregas, who has faced criticism for his performances, admits morale is low and he is desperately hoping they can turn things around.
