Harry Redknapp: Why under-fire Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho isn't special anymore

Jose Mourinho could lose his job if Chelsea lose to Sunderland

 

HARRY REDKNAPP says Jose Mourinho can have no complaints if he is sacked by Chelsea - because he is not special anymore.

 

The Blues boss faces the sack if his side loses to Sunderland on Saturday after a disastrous start to the season which has left them languishing 16th in the Premier League.

Redknapp reckons Mourinho must face the consequences for Chelsea's poor results and feels the Portuguese has lost his aura.

 

He told the London Evening Standard: "Jose Mourinho isn’t special any more. 

"He can’t have any complaints if he is sacked because if he gets all the credit for winning the Premier League and hailed as the greatest manager there is when Chelsea win, then he has to face the consequences when they perform as badly as this.

"I like him but he is no different to anyone else: managers get the sack for failing to win football matches. 

 

"Brendan Rodgers left Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp comes in and he is the best thing since sliced bread one minute, then the next they can’t beat West Brom and lose at Newcastle.

"If Jose was such a genius, Chelsea wouldn’t be losing all these games. 

"What’s happened there is remarkable but it just goes to show that whoever they are, a manager is only as good as his players."
