Roman Abramovich delivers Chelsea training ground speech as Guus Hiddink jets in
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH made an appearance at the Chelsea training ground this afternoon following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Roman Abramovich was at Cobham today to deliver a speech
He is set to appoint Dutchman Guus Hiddink as interim boss until the end of the season and has reportedly offered the players a fresh start.
The Russian is said to have delivered a short speech insisting he did not want to sack Mourinho but had been left with no choice - with the help of a translator.
Chelsea sit one point above the relegation zone in 16th despite winning the title so easily last season and Mourinho was dispatched just four months after signing a new four-year deal.
