Speculations from the British media has revealed Chelsea football club manager, Jose Mourinho could be relieved of his duties sooner than expected following his team's 3-0 humbling defeat by Manchester City football club on Sunday, 16th of August.
Odds released by Betfair Sportsbook on Monday show the Portuguese tactician is now 7/1 second favourite, previously 25/1 to leave his post behind Sunderland coach Dick Advocaat.
Despite the Portuguese manager only signing a new four-year dealearlier this month, odds from Betfair suggest Mourinho could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge if Chelsea do not get their title defence back on track in the coming weeks.
Football Trader for Betfair, Michael Bowers, said: “Jose is struggling to get off on the right foot this season, after a poor game against Swansea and an even poorer game against the new title favourites Manchester City, he has gone from 25/1 to 7/1 second favourite as the next manager to leave the market after heavy backing.
“The club will remain loyal to Mourinho for the time being, but if the blues don’t start picking up some points after four or five games, even The Special One could face the chop.”
