Mourinho quits
Jose Mourinho's sudden exit is a serious setback for English Premier League superpower, Chelsea. The self-described "Chosen One", had certainly played a big role in transforming Chelsea into one of the major competitive teams of EPL. In fact, under his tenure, Chelsea has won two consecutive League titles after 50 years and after a long time, finally, Manchester United and Arsenal had to face a new rival, a major rival in the form of a new, star-studded Chelsea. Some might be of the opinion that Chelsea has managed to play so well in the recent past due to their star players but even Real Madrid had a dream squad consisting of players like Zidane, Ronaldo etc but the Spanish giants failed to shine despite having such great players. So, even if a club has star footballers, at the same time a club also needs an able coach, a coach who has the ability to organise the team properly, set appropriate formations and plant useful strategies. Mourinho had all these qualities. He had charisma in abundance and his pragmatic approaches helped Chelsea climb to the top.
The reason behind his departure is clear. Mourinho's relationship with Abramovich had not been going too well. The Russian millionaire seemed dissatisfied with Chelsea's recent dismal performance this season and he was clearly frustrated with Jose especially after the defeat at Villa Park against Aston Villa. In addition, Chelsea's failure to retain the title this year also added further venom to the relationship between Mourinho and Abramovich. But after all said and done, I feel that Mourinho deserved to stay and he'll be missed by the fans, Chelsea players, and particularly his controversial and jocular comments in the press are going to be missed dearly. Chelsea's era under him was certainly their golden era.
