Chelsea statement of account for 2015/2016 football season revealed that the club paid former manager, Mourinho and his coaching staff a total of about £8.3m as compensation after being fired.
After a miserable start to last year's campaign, Jose Mourinho was finally sacked in December 2015 after a 2-1 defeat to eventual champions Leicester City. The 'Special One' had reportedly lost the dressing room at Stamford Bridge as the club statement read that the sacking was caused because of a 'palpable discord' with the players.
Guus Hiddink came in as the interim manager and somehow steadied the ship as Chelsea finished tenth, their worst result in recent years.
This is however not the first time Mourinho and his coaching staff have been compensated with such a huge amount. When he was sacked after his first spell at the London club, he was paid about £23m as compensation.
Despite of a record turnover of £329.1m and player sales profit worth £49m in the financial year, Chelsea incurred a total loss of £70.6m. Indeed, it was a bad year for owner Roman Ambramovich. The loss included the £67m the Blues paid to Adidas to terminate their kit-manufacturing contract six year earlier.
