Jose Mourinho, the special one, the happy one, the pragmatist, the man who can go on incredible home runs is having the worst time of his managerial career.
The former Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Porto boss who led Chelsea to the Premier League title last season has already made rants against the media and the FA for the manner in which he and his team are treated.
His latest misdemeanor involved a rant at referee John Moss at half-time during the loss to West Ham over the weekend and led to his dismissal for the second half.
A few weeks back, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich released a public statement declaring his full support for the Chelsea boss after a 3 – 1 defeat at home to Southampton which in turn led to a seven-minute rant at the FA, media, his players and anyone not called Jose Mourinho. He even asked to be sacked or backed by the club’s hierarchy.
It seems time is quickly catching up with the man who called the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger ‘a specialist in failure’. While Wenger has been consistent for the past 17 years with a top four finish, Mourinho is yet to continue his legacy of a top three finish in the Premier League.
According to the Daily Mirror (UK), senior players at Chelsea are looking forward to when the ‘happy one’ will be sacked by Abramovich.
It is also believed that the players are surprised at the manner in which their coach has left himself exposed to criticism from the media with his over the top post match conferences and rants at referees.
The Mirror states: “While a handful of players have aired grievances about Mourinho, there is an insistence that the manager has not “lost the dressing-room” and a feeling, in the words of one, that “we just want our Jose back”.
ESPN.com reports similarly. It is understood Mourinho is fast losing the confidence of many of his players, with only John Terry, Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta listed as those who are still behind him.
The Chelsea owner is believed to be ready to sack Mourinho but the Portuguese’s representatives are demanding that the rest of Mourinho’s contract which runs till 2019 be paid in full.
If agreed, Mourinho could leave the club with a £30m payoff.
