Following the defeat to Liverpool, many are tipping Jose Mourinho's second stint as Chelsea manager to come to an end in the very near future.

According to an article in The Daily Mirror, Mourinho may not be in charge for Chelsea's next game - Wednesday's Champions League clash at home to Dynamo Kiev. The Portuguese manager only signed a four year contract with Chelsea in the summer, after delivering the Premier League title. With reports suggesting Mourinho earns around £9.5m a year, some believed that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich might be reluctant to part ways with him due to the prospect of having to pay out a huge compensation package. Now though, it seems this should not be a problem, with the same Daily Mirror report claiming that a clause was inserted into his deal, stipulating that he will only receive one year's salary if his contract in terminated. If these reports are correct, it seems a genuine possibility that Jose Mourinho could be leaving Chelsea in a matter of days.
