Chelsea slumped to their ninth Premier League defeat of the season as they were beaten 2-1 by Leicester, with the Blues great accepting the crisis at his former club is now reaching breaking point.
“They are good players, but far too many of them are under-performing and they have been for a while”, he told Sky Sports. Those world-class imports scored some world-class goals so join us as we take a trip down memory lane and count down the best goals of the Roman Abramovich era at Chelsea FC.
British bookmakers slashed the odds on Mourinho, who said he felt his work was “betrayed” by his players’ performance at Leicester, being the next premier league manager to be dismissed to 8/11 on Tuesday.
The Blues are just one point off the relegation zone after losing nine of their 16 league games this season, while Leicester have gone back to the top of the table ahead of a hectic festive schedule.
“That is one man’s decision, Roman Abramovich”, he added.
“He’s probably looking at it very closely”.
“We’ve been here before at Chelsea where managers change in the middle of the season”.
“I think you know me well enough that I am not afraid of big challenges and at this moment, this is a real big challenge”. What can they gain by getting rid of him now?
That he has failed to get Chelsea out of the hole he has helped to put them in is clearly a blot on his copybook, but let’s not forget what this two-time Champions League winning boss has done before. Or the top six.
“Why make a rash change that can’t really affect the year that much and then see where we are at the end of the year”.
