Andre Villas-Boas: This is what I think about Jose Mourinho being sacked as Chelsea boss

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS has labelled Chelsea's decision to sack Jose Mourinho as 'quite incredible'.

 



Andre Villas-Boas has described Jose Mourinho as Chelsea's 'dearest coach'

 

Mourinho was dismissed at Stamford Bridge last month with the reigning champions languishing 16th in the table, just one point off the relegation zone.

Villas-Boas worked under Mourinho at the Blues earlier in his career and returned as manager in the summer of 2011, but lasted just nine months.

 

And the Portuguese, who is now in charge at Zenit St Petersburg, was amazed to see Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich part with the club's "dearest coach".

"It's been quite incredible to see that it (being dismissed) was applied to everybody," Villas-Boas told BeIN Sports.

"It was applied to probably their dearest coach, their most successful coach, so in the end we have seen nothing different.

"Roman has sacked basically every coach that he's had. It's no different. It happened even to the best.

"The same criteria that he has applied to me, for Rafa Benitez, for all the other coaches, Ancelotti, he's applied to Jose as well."
