Chelsea fire manager Jose Mourinho

Chelsea have sacked manager Jose Mourinho after a poor start to the season, according to reports.

The Premier League champions currently lie in 16th place in the table following their latest defeat to Chelsea on Monday.

Mourinho only signed a new deal in the summer, but the disastrous start to the season has seen the Portuguese depart the club.

The season has been beset with issues including the departure of doctor Eva Carneiro following after two fell out over the treatment of Eden Hazard during a game.

It is expected that the club will pay Mourinho up to the end of the season.

Chelsea have been linked with the likes of Juande Ramos and Guus Hiddink, who could take the role on a short-term basis. It is thought the Dutchman is favourite to take the role of interim manager.
