Milan Mandaric, believes

'was the obvious candidate that was out there'.

Sky Sports pundit
Andy Gray was also saddened to learn of Mourinho's departure, but conceded
'I can't say I was that shocked when the news broke that Jose Mourinho had left Chelsea'.
Former referee
Anders Frisk, who retired from football following Chelsea's volatile Champions League clash with Barcelona two years ago, felt Mourinho only had himself to blame, explaining
'with Jose Mourinho's controversial approach, and then not getting the results, you will get the door slammed in your face sooner or later'.
