Genuinely don't think Jose Mourinho manages in England again. The continent is much, much safer and just as lucrative.

Need somebody removed from work? Call Chelsea's first team squad. 100% success.

There's something very fitting about Ranieri being the one to put the final nail in Mourinho's coffin.

Imagine calling Arsene Wenger a specialist in failure then nearly getting relegated and get sacked by the same club twice. Wonderful.

Is Mourinho now little bit specialist in failure? Look, I don't know. It's quite an achievement to be sacked twice by the same club.
