The recent history of Chelsea managerial achievements has taken on a strong track record of success. Unfortunately, the recent history of managerial sackings at Stamford Bridge has simultaneously become an increasingly unpleasant state of affairs.
Jose Mourinho, who won the League Cup and the Premier League title during his first season in charge in 2005, retained the title in 2006, won the League Cup and the FA Cup in 2007, and then left in September 2007 ‘by mutual consent’, amid rumours of unrest between Mourinho and club owner Roman Abramovich.
Carlo Ancelotti was appointed in 2009, won the Premier League title and the FA Cup in May 2010 during first season in charge, and sacked in May 2011.
