Abramovich is likely to appoint former Blues boss Guus Hiddink on an interim basis, before Guardiola becomes available.
A Chelsea statement read: "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.
