Jose Mourinho Accused of Burning Out Chelsea Stars by Fabio Capello

Ex-England manager Fabio Capello has insisted Chelsea's struggles this season are thanks to Blues helmsman Jose Mourinho, whom he has accused of "burning out his players."

Chelsea have won just two of their eight Premier League games this campaign after claiming last season's title, and Capello told Fox Sports the demise is part of a pattern in Mourinho's career (via Sky Sports):

Mourinho burns out his players after a year and a half, at most two years. I had already heard it when he was in Madrid and now we have confirmation in London.
