    Jose Mourinho discovers he is to be the subject of individual legal action from former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro. It means he will have to appear at an employment tribunal unless there is an out of court settlement.

    Carneiro was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho said she was"naive" for treating Eden Hazard during a draw with Swansea.

    On the same day Mournho also finds out he is to serve a one-match stadium ban, as well as being hit with a £40,000 fine, for his conduct against West Ham.

    'Mourinho doesn't have the staying power'published at 15:56

    Chelsea sack Jose Mourinho

    More quotes from former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, who doubts whether Jose Mourinho "has the patience" to stay at any club for the long-term.

    "It has imploded in front of our eyes," Keown tells BBC Radio 5 live. "It is astonishing. I saw players who were not giving everything.

    "He has lost the players. There is no trust there, respect is gone. Ultimately it is easier to change a manager than 22 players."

    Chelsea sack Jose Mourinho

    Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown is asked if Chelsea's players should be embarrassed on BBC Radio 5 live: "Embarrassed? No I don't think so. This has been an accident waiting to happen.

    "Mourinho talked about betrayal this weekend. Go back to October and he was talking about rats within the camp. There have been big problems right from the start of the season.

    "I take you back to the Community Shield. What about his reaction to a non-handshake from Arsene Wenger. He then threw his medal."

    The result leaves the champions with 11 points from 11 games.

    "They know why they are getting bad results. The fight goes on, but sometimes there are fights very impossible to win. You go to a fight with different ammunition."

    Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer reacts to Jose Mourinho's sacking on BBC Radio 5 live: "Once you fall out with players then it is a very difficult situation you find yourself in.

    "If you fall out with two or three you can move them on. But when you go over that you're talking about half a dressing room. You can't sack all the players. Then you have a decision to make."

    Jose Mourinho says his Football Association fine is a "disgrace" after being ordered to pay £50,000. Mourinho had claimed officials were "afraid" to award his team penalties after Robert Madley denied Chelsea a spot-kick in a 3-1 loss to Southampton.

    "I'm happy I don't have an electronic tag," he added. "£50,000 is a disgrace. The possibility of getting a stadium ban is astonishing."
