LONDON. — Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea future is hanging in the balance, with Roman Abramovich still anguishing over whether to sack him. The Russian tycoon is reluctant to axe the 52-year-old and appears to have decided to give him more time to turn things round at the champions. But he is far from certain with a source close to the billionaire saying: “Roman doesn’t know what to do.
“Jose hasn’t suddenly become a bad coach, but things can’t carry on like they are.” Saturday’s embarrassing 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool was Chelsea’s sixth league defeat of the season
But another bad result against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League tomorrow or at Stoke at the weekend, could spell the end for him. Abramovich will consider the financial implications of sacking Mourinho, with the Portuguese coach due around £37m if his four-year contract is paid up in full. — Daily Star-Reuters.
