Mourinho's second stint with Chelsea ended abruptly because he had one problem: He trusted his players too much.
During an interview with Sky Sports, Blues' midfielder Cesc Fábregas revealed that the Portuguese boss, who is expected to become Manchester United's tactician next season, extended the team's vacation period after they won the CapitalOne Cup and the Premier League titles during his second season, and that proved to be his downfall.
"The biggest problem was he trusted us too much, gave us more holiday because we were champions and we let him down. That was the main reason he had to go - and for that myself and the team feel bad for it," Fabregas stated during the interview.

Dismissing any sort of problems between them, the Catalan-born player revealed he still talks with Mourinho up to this day, denying claims about his involvement in the Portuguese boss' sacking.
"I have huge respect for him, we still keep in touch right now," the player added.
Finally, Fabregas spoke about Antonio Conte, who is set to become Chelsea's next manager after he ends his commitment with the Italian National Team. Cesc revealed he has already studied his next coach's style and how it will benefit Chelsea right from the start
I played against his Italy recently and it's really interesting. You can see that he loves offensive football and you can see that tactically his teams are so well organised. That’s what we need. Someone that will always be on our back to push us and make us work hard, teaching us new things," the player concluded.
