So Soon! Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho In Line To Be Sacked

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho has seen
his odds of becoming the next Premier
League manager to be sacked slashed
following his team’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester
City on Sunday.

Odds released by Betfair Sportsbook on
Monday show the Portuguese tactician is now
7/1 second favourite – previously 25/1 – to
leave his post behind Sunderland coach d**k
Advocaat.

Mourinho had to also deal with heavy
criticism in the build-up to the clash on
Sunday for demoting first-team doctor Eva
Carneiro after she had attended to Eden
Hazard in the dying minutes of the draw
against Garry Monk’s side last Saturday.

Despite the Portuguese manager only signing
a new four-year dealearlier this month, odds
from Betfair suggest Mourinho could be on
his way out of Stamford Bridge if Chelsea do
not get their title defence back on track in
the coming weeks.

Football Trader for Betfair, Michael Bowers,
said: “Jose is struggling to get off on the right
foot this season, after a poor game against
Swansea and an even poorer game against
the new title favourites Manchester City, he
has gone from 25/1 to 7/1 second favourite
as the next manager to leave the market
after heavy backing.

“The club will remain loyal to Mourinho for the
time being, but if the blues don’t start
picking up some points after four or five
games, even The Special One could face the
chop.”
