CHELSEA FIRES MOURINHO...

After the Blues’ League success last season in his second spell at the helm, the Portuguese manager has endured a disastrous start this season, losing nine of his first 16 games of the season to sit just one point above the relegation zone.
Mourinho’s last game in charge was Monday’s 2-1 loss to Leicester City, who lead the English standings, a mammoth 20 points clear of last year’s champions.
Mourinho signed a four-year deal in August with the London club, yet his poor start and lack of results has seen him ousted from the club with which he won three EPL titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
An official statement on Mourinho's departure is yet to be made by the club.
It is unclear who will take over from the decorated manager, with former coach Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola and former Tottenham Hotspur coach Juande Ramos the early contenders.
