Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho has said his former club, Chelsea FC sacked him, despite the club insisting he left by mutual consent.
The club in a statement had said Mourinho left in 2015 by mutual consent.

“Mr Abramovich decided to sack me,” He told Sky Sports. “It was not mutual consent. But I left without a bad word about anything or anyone at the club.
“That was in my first period at Chelsea when I agreed it was time to change.

“I was still in London, I kept a house there, I was walking in the street, going to the gym, watching football…”
