Chelsea announced that Mourinho had left the club “by mutual consent” after a run of nine defeats in 16 games that has seen the Premier League champions slide to within a point of the relegation zone.
Emenalo, who has been at Chelsea since 2007, said that the club’s disastrous form had left owner Roman Abramovich with no choice but to sack Mourinho for a second time.
“The owner is forced to make what was a very tough decision for the good of the club,” said the former Nigeria midfielder.
“Make no mistake about it, Chelsea Football Club, one of the biggest clubs in the world, is one point above relegation in the English Premier League. And that’s not good enough"
“The facts of the matter remain that Chelsea Football Club is in trouble,” he told Chelsea TV. “The results are not good. There obviously seems to be a palpable discord between manager and players. We feel it was time to act.”
