Following the sacking of club manager Jose Mourinho, the technical director Mr. Michael Emenalo said that Chelsea's players were not to blame for the sacking. The defending champions he said, are one point above the relegation zone after losing nine of their first 16 Premier League matches this season and there was a "palpable discord between manager and players".

He continued that the squad consisted of the same group of players who won the league and League Cup "in style" last season while "sweating tears and blood". He added: "The players have a responsibility to go out and prove everybody wrong and show a commitment to the decision that has been made to try and get the club up the league table. "This club is in trouble and something needed to be done."
''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.''
''The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge. The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.''
