‘Today is a sad day’ – Azpilicueta reacts to Mourinho sacking
“But you have to enjoy the job and do your best and basically work hard and enjoy it. I opt to do it that way without thinking what might happen but to enjoy it and do your best and try to stay as long as possible”.

2083 – days between his departure from Chelsea, on September 20, 2007, and his reappointment for his second spell, on June 3, 2013.
The Blues sacked the Portuguese yesterday after a disastrous start to the 2015/16 campaign where they lost nine of their 16 Premier League games.
Though a replacement has yet to be named, former interim Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink of Holland is reportedly set to take over for the time being.
The charismatic former Barcelona manager is expected to announce he will quit Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
The incident is said to have occurred on a day where tempers became even further fraught amongst the players, thanks to both heavy traffic on the A3 – which delayed training for an hour after players were stuck in traffic – and following interviews given by Mourinho in the aftermath of the Leicester defeat.
Former Socceroos boss Hiddink was reported by Football Federation Australia to have been appointed as a temporary successor to Jose Mourinho, who left Chelsea on Thursday.
He said: “Whilst there is huge sentiment for the individual who has done so much for the club, the fact of the matter remains that Chelsea is in trouble”.
“There obviously seems to be palpable discord between manager and players, and we feel it was time to act. So I think it’s very easy to make that kind of inference but it’s not one that the club accepts”.
Thursday’s exit came amid rumours of arguments with players and staff, perhaps all of it hastened by an early-season decision to publicly criticize club doctor Eva Carneiro for treating an injured player during a match.
Chelsea cancelled their regular weekly press conference that was scheduled for Friday afternoon in the wake of Mourinho’s departure.
Chelsea captain John Terry has posted an emotional message on Instagram thanking Jose Mourinho for the “unbelievable memories” following the manager’s dismissal. And it was followed with a club statement noting that Mourinho is “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”.
