Chelsea boss chose NOT to sit next to club’s directors at Upton Park
West Ham United chief Karren Brady has confirmed that Jose Mourinho chose not to sit next to Chelsea’s directors when he was sent off at Upton Park last weekend.
Chelsea had a man sent-off on the pitch, and then saw two members of the coaching staff be sent to the stands as well, including Mourinho, and according to Brady, he chose to stand among the West Ham fans.
Mourinho was sent up to the stands, and despite the Hammers making room for him next to Chelsea’s directors, the Blues boss didn’t want to sit next to them and chose to stand instead.
Mourinho Beef with Directors?
“At half-time, only three visiting directors from Chelsea come into the boardroom,” Brady told The Sun.
“My operations director tells me Jose Mourinho has been sent to the stands by the referee. For the second half we clear a place for him next to his three directors but he chooses to stand at the back among Hammers fans.
“As I walk past I can practically feel his mood, injustice oozing from every pore.
“I wish he was on close terms with his chief executive, as this should be a person he trusts to watch his back and, when necessary, talk some sense into him.
“He has a chairman who makes the decisions but he has hardly any relationship with him as football is just a sideline and not the focus of his life.”
