- With Chelsea languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League, having taken just eight points from eight games, and his proud home league record now ruined, Jose Mourinho is coming under sustained fire.
The latest to stick the knife into the not-so-special Portuguese are former England manager Fabio Capello and ex-Barcelona coach Johan Cruyff, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Capello, who had his reputation destroyed at the altar of English football and was recently sacked by Russia, believes that Mourinho "burns out his players after a year and a half, at most two years". - Tipo de fuente
