Reasons Chelsea must not sack Jose Mourinho

Chelsea-Jose-Mourinho

After the sackings of Brendan Rodgers and Dick Advocaat, from Liverpool and Sunderland respectively, Mourinho appears to be the next name on the list.
The spat with Eva Carneiro, punishment for criticizing referees and a disastrous start to the season has piled enormous pressure on the world class Chelsea manager. Mourinho has to deliver now, or Chelsea risk missing out on European qualification (let alone a title challenge).
Getting rid of Mourinho seems like an easy fix at this moment, but it would be illogical and poor planning on behalf of the Premier League champions.
Mourinho has not become a bad manager overnight, he is going through a rough patch and he is more than capable of turning it around. Arguably the best manager in the world, Mourinho has the experience and maturity to turn things around with a little support.

The 20-year-old played just 69 minutes across three matches, but opened the scoring in France's 3-1 friendly victory over Italy in Bari on Thursday for his first senior international goal. And Deschamps, attempting to lead France's recovery after their final defeat to Portugal in July, reckons a refreshed Martial will learn lessons from his Euros disappointment. "He was expecting more from the Euros and I was too," Deschamps said. "But, things were difficult. He has to learn from this to progress.  "He was the first to say he was not satisfied. Deschamps continued: "He arrived there exhausted because he had a very l...

No One Informed Me Van Gaal Would Be Sacked - Daley Blind

Daley Blind insists he was not told that Manchester United had sacked Louis van Gaal before the club's confirmation on Monday evening. Van Gaal guided the club to victory in the FA Cup on Saturday but failure to secure Champions League football, coupled with the team’s uninspiring playing style, has led to the Dutchman’s dismissal. But Blind, who has worked under Van Gaal at United and the Netherlands national side, insists he kept in the dark over the managerial change at Old Trafford and says there were no signs to suggest the 64-year-old would be leaving after Saturday's final at Wembley. “I follow the news just like you,” said Blind, who was speaking shortly before Van Gaal's sacking on Monday evening. “The media have him sacked him 82 times this season I believe. It could be that they are right once. “But Manchester United have no official statement brought out. And the training I have looked on my phone. I was not told anything. “I would be sorry if it i...
