Chelsea have announced they have 'mutually agreed' to part company with manager Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese boss, who rejoined the west London club for a second spell in 2013, lifted a Premier League and League Cup double last season.
However, Chelsea's awful league form in the 2015-16 campaign has brought to a close Mourinho's tenure at Stamford Bridge, with the club releasing a statement on their official website.
"Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent.
"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.
"The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge."
