Drogbas Upset That Jose Mourinho Has Left

The Chelsea striker admits he could not see the departure of former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho coming. Didier Drogba, 29, has also hinted he may look for a way, after losing Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho signed Drogba from Marseille for £24m in July 2004, just seven weeks after he had taken over as Blues boss.

Drogba endured a tough first two seasons at Chelsea but had a magnificent campaign last time around, scoring 33 goals in all competitions.

Didier Drogba admits Mourinho's sudden departure last week and Avram Grant's promotion to manager has cast a shadow over the club.

Meanwhile, Chelsea captain John Terry will attempt to set the record straight on Saturday after some reports suggested he was to blame for Mourinho's exit.

According to the Daily Mirror, Terry will use his programme notes for Saturday's game against Fulham to tell Chelsea fans that although he did row with Mourinho shortly before his exit, he did not want the Portuguese to leave.

Chelsea's Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko urged his team-mates earlier in the week to show some unity following the appointment of new manager Grant.
