UNCONFIRMED reports early today suggest Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is leaving the club.

It follows the Blue's disappointing 1-1 Champions League draw at home to Norwegian side Rosenborg on Tuesday.

The club itself have yet to comment but Mourinho is said to have sent texts to senior players confirming he will quit Stamford Bridge.

His position has been the subject of intense scrutiny last season - with an increasingly tense relationship with club owner Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea's failure to beat Rosenborg at home coincided with their lowest crowd for years.

Even so the Blues trudged off to a chorus of boos after the final whistle.
