The fallout is well underway.
You’ll have heard by now that Chelsea have parted company with Jose Mourinho for the second time after a dismal start to the season, with the champions just a point above the relegation zone after 16 games.
As expected, there has been a lot of reaction to the breaking news on social media.
Here are just some of the words…

Mourinho turned mood toxic with "betrayal" comments but #cfc stars underperformed. Fans who backed Mourinho may make that point on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti are all available for a job. Three of the greatest managers ever. Do something, United!

60% – Jose Mourinho's second spell in charge of Chelsea yielded a 60% Premier League win rate, compared to 71% during his first spell. Dip.
