A first-team Chelsea player has said he’d rather lose than win for manager Jose Mourinho.

That was the extraordinary claim by BBC Radio 5 Live’s Garry Richardson, who said many of the player’s relationship with their boss has hit ‘rock bottom’.

Speaking on Sunday morning’s Sportsweek, Richardson said many players were tired of the Portuguese manager’s regime.

He added: “Let me tell you what I know on the Chelsea story. My information comes from a Chelsea first team player.

“The information was actually passed to me by a football contact.

“I was told they’re fed up with the way he’s been dealing with some of them. They’re fed up with his outbursts. I was told that his relationship particularly with Eden Hazard was under immense strain.”

“Here’s a staggering quote. One player said recently, “I’d rather lose than win for him”. Now that last quote may well have been said in the heat of the moment, but it perhaps gives an insight into the mood of some of the players.”
