It was being speculated for a long time but when Jose Mourinho’s sacking did finally happen yesterday, it came as a brutal shock to one and all. Even though Chelsea’s performances and results this season have been unbelievably poor this season, showing the door to arguably the greatest manager in world football has left the footballing world divided on the issue. If Jose can’t get the Blues out of this current mess, then who can?
But the fact of the matter is that he’s gone, and Chelsea must now look forward. The most obvious option will be to have a caretaker until the end of the current campaign before employing a top name in the summer on a permanent basis.
