WHAT HAPPENED? The former Chelsea manager has again suggested that his tenure as the Blues' boss ended abruptly and he is now planning to take a much-deserved break before heading back to the world of football.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to Sportstar, the German said, "I loved every day at Chelsea. It came to an end too early for me, but it was out of my hands. This is also what you sign up for.

"I haven’t made a decision yet. It is now time for me to take a break. Some clubs have been calling my manager but we agreed that he would not call me here for these past 18 days."
