About time. Disastrous is an understatement.
Mourinho is not a top coach anymore. He should coach a team like Sunderland.
A bit dramatic don't you think. The guy has won in four leagues throughout Europe. He is a winner and he has proven it.
My money is on Simeone getting the job next season.
Right move for the club though
No, it's not dramatic. All in all, he failed in Madrid. With the most expensive team ever. One of the best players ever on his roster as well. He alienated fans, players and staff.
With Chelsea, he won a league in 3 years, while the most expensive team failed to cope with expectations (and was badly coached). He was always favourite for 2nd place with the budget he had. He was outclassed by Spanish's 3rd team in the CL and then by L1's 1st team in the second year. This year, it took the 6th game to qualify in an easy group. He alienated plenty of players and staff. Only fans seemed to back him up, with absolutely zero logic (IMO) given the piss poor quality of the football they're watching.
At this point, beyond a stupid staff like United's, I don't see a single big team being interested in him.
Why would Simeone leave a good spanish team with CL qualification for an unstable environment like Chelsea's?
While I don't think he was perfect (far from it), I think Chelsea will regret this.
I don't think the players are getting enough scrutiny. This is the same squad (largely) from last season, with the same tactics, the difference is in a lot of losses, the players didn't seem like they gave a crap one way or another.
With Hiddink, those players better show a big turn around. Firing one of the most successful managers in Europe could come and bite Chelsea in the butt.
