5 managers who were sacked this season and why

Mourinho must be wondering what went wrong

1) Jose Mourinho – Chelsea

The biggest and most controversial sacking of the 2015-16 season was none other than that of Jose Mourinho’s. The Portuguese has always been vocal about his love for Chelsea, a feeling that is equally reciprocated by the fans, making his departure even harder for both parties.

It is a cruel world as it was only 7 months prior to his sacking that he had won the Premier League title with the Blues. But modern football isn’t known to be kind.

With 9 losses from their first 16 games, Chelsea were just about hovering over the relegation zone with a point’s lead over the 18th placed team. That was enough justification for Roman Abramovich to fire the man he had hired for the second time in 2013.

His final game was against the eventual champions, Leicester City—a game in which his team lost 2-1
