Jose Mourinho Axe Reportedly Expected by 'Bemused' Chelsea Players

Chelsea stars are reportedly expecting manager Jose Mourinho to be relieved of his duties soon, as the dressing room becomes increasingly disillusioned with the Portuguese’s behaviour.

According to Neil Ashton of the Daily Mail, Mourinho used expletive language towards referee Jon Moss and refused to leave the official’s room during half-time of the Blues’ 2-1 loss to West Ham United on Saturday. Dave Kidd of the Daily Mirror claims with incidents like this mounting up, there is a festering sense of inevitability about Mourinho leaving the club among the playing staff:

Dressing-room sources are adamant that there has been no rebellion against Mourinho—but there is an increasing bemusement at the behaviour of the Portuguese manager.
