As speculations about the sack of Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho continue to deepen, reports have shown that the embattled Chelsea boss, will actually be smiling to the bank if he's eventually shown the exit door.
Jose Mourinho
This revelation is coming on the heels of a Daily Mirror report that the Portuguese is in line for a pay-out of over £30million should the EPL champions stage a U-turn and sack him.
It will be recalled that the Chelsea Board had earlier released a statement indicating to stick with Mourinho despite the Champions slow start to the season. However, despite the club board’s support for the beleaguered Mourinho, the Portuguese has come under severe attack from fans, players and followers of the EPL.
One of these is the former England manager Fabio Capello, who in a recent chat with Fox Sports linked Chelsea’s disappointing start to the season to Mourinho burning out his players.
Mourinho signed a mouth-watering new deal worth around £8.5million-a-year two months ago after winning the Barclays Premier League in May and the Capital One Cup three months earlier.
The deal will see him remain at the helm of affairs at the club until 2019.
But if the 52-year-old is sacked, Chelsea will have to cough out mega-money to pay him off.
