Arsenal legend Martin Keown: This is why Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was sacked
MARTIN KEOWN has blamed the relationship between the players and the manager for Jose Mourinho's sacking.
Martin Keown believes Mourinho lost the trust of his players
The Portuguese boss today left Chelsea 'by mutual consent' after a disastrous start to the Blues' title defence.
But Keown, who won three Premier League titles with Arsenal, believes trust was at the root of Mourinho's problems inside the dressing room.
"It has imploded in front of our eyes," Keown told the BBC.
“Mourinho talked about betrayal this weekend.
"Go back to October and he was talking about rats within the camp.
"There have been big problems right from the start of the season.
“I take you back to the Community Shield. What about his reaction to a non-handshake from Arsene Wenger. He then threw his medal."
