Cesc Fabregas reveals why Jose Mourinho was sacked.

The Portuguese boss was sacked just half a year after winning the Premier League at Stamford Bridge and Fabregas has spoken out about his mistakes

Relaxed: Chelsea took their foot off the gas this season

Cesc Fabregas believes that the main reason Jose Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea was because he trusted his players too much.
Mourinho was axed just half a year after winning the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge with the Blues lingering in the bottom half of the table.
The Portuguese boss, who is the favourite to take over at Manchester United at the end of the season, insisted that he was betrayed by his players.
And Fabregas has admitted that the team did not do enough to support him.
The Spanish midfielder insisted that Mourinho was made to pay for allowing his Chelsea stars to relax too much.

Speaking on Monday Night Football, he said: "A lot has been said. I love Jose and I consider him my friend and we still keep in touch right now.
"Some of the things said were unfortunate, but I have huge respect for him.
"I think Jose's biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday because we were champions. He had been trusting us and we let him down.

Determined: Fabregas is determined to right the wrongs of this season

"The whole team has, all of the players, and that was the main reason why he had to go.
"For that, myself and the rest of the team, we feel bad for that."
Chelsea will finish the season outside of the European places despite their mini revival under Guus Hiddink.
Their crown appears likely to be going to either Leicester or Tottenham, but Fabregas believes that the Foxes will have enough about them to win the title, even after this weekend's slip up.
Spurs can close the gap to five points with a win over Stoke on Monday night after Leicester only claimed one point in a controversial draw with West Ham.

 

In the balance: Leicester's title bid could be hampered by the draw with West Ham

"I think Spurs are pushing as hard as they can to get as close to them as possible," said Fabregas. "But I think Leicester will win it and deservedly so."
When asked if he thought there would be another twist, he said: "Hopefully not! I don't want Spurs to win it!
"For what has happened through the season, I would love Leicester to win the Premier League."
