Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has sensationally left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent, the club has confirmed.The news comes just 24 hours after the disappointing Champions League draw against Rosenborg.According to the BBC, Mourinho texted senior players, including skipper John Terry, with the news.Mourinho joined Chelsea in the summer of 2004 and led them to the Premiership title in each of his first two seasons.Last season they finished runners-up to Manchester United but won both the FA Cup and Carling Cup, a trophy they had also collected in 2005.His achievements also saw him voted as Premiership manager of the year in 2005 and 2006.However the Champions League trophy eluded the club and this season's campaign started with Tuesday's shock 1-1 result against the Norwegians in front of a crowd of just 24,973.It was their third successive game without a win following a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa and a goalless draw with Blackburn in the Premier League.Those results have left Chelsea fifth in the table - two points behind leaders Arsenal and with a visit to Manchester United to come on Sunday.He did have one unique record during his reign in never losing a home league game at Stamford Bridge.Mourinho signed a five-year contract in 2005 and quashed speculation in January that he would leave Stamford Bridge in the summer by saying he was happy to see out his deal if he received "real support" from the club.Source: bbc
