Jose Mourinho last night sensationally resigned at Chelsea following a major
|
|
row with owner Roman Abramovich over the future direction of the club.

The combustible Portuguese manager texted captain John Terry yesterday telling
|
|
him he was quitting. His decision follows the club's disappointing 1-1
|
|
Champions League draw [against Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday
|
|
night.][7]
|
|
|
|
Abramovich and senior Chelsea figures, including the chairman Bruce Buck and
|
|
chief executive Peter Kenyon, were last night understood to have been
|
|
completely in the dark over Mourinho's departure.
|
|
|
|
But it was reported last night that the Russian billionaire had held crisis
|
|
talks yesterday with director Eugene Tenenbaum and new director of football
|
|
Avram Grant.

Abramovich wanted to know why Mourinho's side were unable to see off the
|
|
Norwegian champions at home and, perhaps more pointedly, why his expensively
|
|
assembled team were struggling to score goals and failing to produce the
|
|
stylish football he craves.
|
|
|
|
Questions were also asked about the club's woeful crowd on Tuesday night. Just
|
|
24,793 people turned up to watch, Chelsea's lowest attendance since the
|
|
Champions League tie against Slovakian side Zilina in 2003.
|
|
|
|
Despite Abramovich's anger at the latest slump in Chelsea's fortunes, sources
|
|
insisted last night that there was no question of Mourinho being fired.
|
|
|
|
However, after three controversial and hugely entertaining years in charge at
|
|
Chelsea, it looks like Mourinho will jump before he is pushed.

|
|
|
|
Chelsea have made their worst start to a Premier League campaign since 2001,
|
|
losing away to Aston Villa on Sept 2 and drawing at home with Blackburn Rovers
|
|
on Sunday.
|
|
|
|
The build-up to Tuesday's game against Rosenborg was then completely
|
|
overshadowed by Mourinho's bizarre comments about eggs and omelettes - widely
|
|
interpreted as a critique of the depth of his squad, which has again been
|
|
beset by injuries to key players this season.
|
|
|
|
His remarks had been prompted by Kenyon's earlier reflections on Abramovich's
|
|
desire to see his team win with "style". In an interview for a new documentary
|
|
on the club, Blue Revolution, due to be released today, Kenyon piled extra
|
|
pressure on Mourinho by adding that Chelsea would only be considered a truly
|
|
great club when they win the Champions League twice in 10 years.
|
|
|
|
Mourinho and Abramovich appeared to have patched up their relationship after
|
|
the breakdown, in relations last season which almost resulted in his
|
|
departure.
|
|
|
|
But, despite surrendering the Premiership title to Manchester United last
|
|
season and failing again in Europe, the two men called a truce after Mourinho
|
|
backed down.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Mourinho even attempted to make his side play more entertaining football,
|
|
abandoning his one man attack for an exciting three pronged front line
|
|
featuing new winger Florent Malouda.
|
|
|
|
It is not clear whether Mourinho will receive any compensation for the three
|
|
years remaining on his £5million-a-year contract.
