John Mikel: Does Jose Mourinho lacks this attribute?

John Obi Mikel has attributed Chelsea’s mini-revival under Guus Hiddink to his ability to communicate with his players, something that he suggests Jose Mourinho lacked.

Mikel has established himself as a key figure in the Blues’ recent turnaround, completing five of the six Premier League games since Hiddink took over having been very much on the periphery under former manager Mourinho.

The champions are unbeaten since Hiddink’s arrival and Mikel believes it is down to the squad responding to their new boss’s ability to interact with his players.

Jose Mourinho sacked by Chelsea

Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Chelsea for a second time, just seven months after winning the Premier League.

The 52-year-old has been dismissed with Chelsea 16th in the division and three points above the relegation zone following a dismal run of nine defeats in 16 games.

Sky sources understand that Mourinho was called to the training ground at Cobham to a meeting with chairman Bruce Buck and director Eugene Tenenbaum earlier on Thursday afternoon, which lasted no longer than 10 minutes.

And at 2pm his second spell as Chelsea manager was brought to an end after 30 months and 136 games, despite delivering his third and the club's fourth Premier League title by an eight-point margin in May.
