Chelsea reveal cost of ditching Jose Mourinho and Adidas

Sacking Jose Mourinho and his staff in 2015 cost Chelsea £8.3 million, about a third of what the club had to pay out when he left Stamford Bridge the first time in 2007.

The 2015 figure is revealed in the club's full accounts for the 2015/16 season, a disastrous campaign on the field for the 2014/15 Premier League champions and an expensive one off the field.
