- Toshack slams Jose
Wales manager John Toshack has blasted former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho for quitting the club just when things at Stamford Bridge were starting to get difficult.
Toshack has been unimpressed by Mourinho's actions in the last few weeks and has branded him a quitter.
Writing his weekly column in Spanish newspaper Marca, Toshack said: "The Special One threw in the towel.
"They say he left 48 hours before the game against Manchester United, taking his reports on Ferguson's team with him and leaving the new coach and his players high and dry.
"If that's true, it doesn't say much for him. When the going gets tough the tough get going - and Mourinho has disappointed me enormously.
"He was very brave in front of the cameras when he had the best goalkeeper in the world between the posts and a backbone made up of Terry, Lampard and Drogba.
"But without them he wasn't so brave when it came to preparing for games and getting decent results. Injuries to those players have exposed Chelsea."
