Mourinho's tumultuous second spell as Chelsea manager was ended 'by mutual consent' on Thursday, with the club's technical director Michael Emenalo revealing that squad disharmony was a significant factor.&nbsp;

The reports add that Mourinho was told of his fate by chairman Bruce Buck and director Eugene Tenenbaum in a meeting which lasted just 10 minutes. A hooded man, presumably Mourinho, was then spotted being driven out of the club by a chauffeur. While earlier reports claimed this was the 52-year-old, publications like The Sun later pointed out that the man was not Mourinho.

In essence, Mourinho will be put on 'gardening leave' and the club will continue paying him his salary until he finds employment at another club.&nbsp;
