Jose Mourinho‘s public criticism of Chelsea‘s players following their defeat to Leicester City could have been the “final straw” that led to his dismissal, according to ex-Blues star Clive Walker.

Mourinho said he felt “betrayed” after the 2-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium and Walker suspects members of the squad may have voiced their unhappiness over his comments to the Blues hierarchy.

“I suspect that he might have lost the players after Monday,” Walker told Goal. “He had tried everything – leaving players out, changing training methods, changing the style and tactics.

“The last [move] was to criticise the players and he would have known that was a big gamble on Monday. He would have hoped they would knuckle down after that, but it might have gone the other way.

“There are some big personalities in that changing room and a few of them might not have liked his remarks after the defeat at Leicester and voiced their complaints to the hierarchy.

“That might have been a defining moment and for Jose the final straw.

“Chelsea have been the exception to the rule that a successful club has a settled manager. That is because Roman Abramovich puts his managers under constant pressure.
