The special one sacked...



The sacking of Jose Mourinho comes as no surprise as the relationship between the owner Abramovich and Mourinho was rocky for quite some time now.Everyone's gutted but yes he's gone. The Portugese manager who was appointed in 2004 has done an exceptional job at Chelsea winning 6 trophies in 3 years , but could never get his hands on the priceless Champions league as they were eliminated twice after reaching the semi final by Liverpool. This fact troubled Abramovich and the tensions were rising between the two. Chelsea lost their title to Manchester united last season and haven’t impressed the owner with their performance this season so far. Finally the fiery relationship came to a halt after a disappointing 1-1 draw in the hands of Rosenberg in the Champions League on Tuesday at he Stamford Bridge. When Jose was appointed he called himself “ The Special One “ and he has proved to be one by achieving great heights at Chelsea . Many players were devastated with the sudden departure of Mourinho and quite a few have said that they would be following him. Mourinho had hinted an exit this summer after he claimed that certain things weren’t all right at the club. What more does Abramovich want from Mourinho ? Was he sacked just because of a couple of draws or because he couldn’t get the Champions League ? Ballack and Shevchenko's addition to the squad increased the tensions at the club as they couldn't gel into the team. Their wages were too high , more than Lampard's and Terry's . Both of them were expensive flops.In my view Mourinho was the best manager in England and I would him call him unlucky because he was sacked for no good reason. Abramovich knows what Mourinho can do if he takes over another English club , so to prevent that he paid him a good compensation to keep him away form England for at least a season. Avram Grant was appointed as the new boss , who has got a lot of work to do after Mourinho had set such high standards at the club. It was always tough for a new manager , managing such a big club and their loss to Man United comes as no surprise. Its going to be really tough for anyone to replace Mourinho. Fergie spoke to the press saying that he enjoyed every moment on the field with Mourinho and says his exit was a big loss. Keane said that Mourinho has raised the bars in the English league. There are already speculations that he might be taking over Barcelona next season and a series of other clubs are after him. He has said that he enjoyed every single moment at Chelsea and said that he would again coach Chelsea some time later in his career. All the Best Jose.
