Jose Mourinho's Christmas has just gone and freed itself up.
The Portuguese is now a twice former Chelsea manager after it was confirmed that the ex-Real Madrid man is unemployed after being sacked from the Premier League champions this afternoon.
The classic 'mutual consent ' line was used in the official statement, and not even the the most loyal Chelsea fan would deny that it hasn't been coming.
We have to admit we'll miss Jose and the reaction online ranged from shock, to glee, to disappointment.

It was really bad timing for others as Jose was due to feature on a TV show tonight on BT
