Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Chelsea just seven months after he won the Premier League title, although the club's official statement claims that both parties have agreed on the decision.
The 52-year-old had remained adamant that he would not quit the club, who currently sit 16th in the Premier League with only 15 points from 16 games.
But Chelsea now claim that Mourinho has accepted that "results have not been good enough this season" and that his exit was the best course of action.
"Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent.
"All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013.
"His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history.
"But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways
