JOSE MOURINHO has hammered the final nail in Avram Grant's coffin by branding the sacked
Chelsea boss a "loser".
The Special One was axed by the Blues in September, heralding the start of Grant's reign. But after a trophyless season, in which the Stamford Bridge club were second in the
Champions League, Carling Cup and Premier League, the Israeli was axed by Roman Abramovich.
Mourinho, who is expected to return to management this summer, believes the Blues' season
under Grant can only be classed as a failure.
The Portuguese boss said: "In my philosophy it was a very bad one because in football
"almost" means defeat.
"Chelsea almost won the Carling Cup, almost won the Champions League, and almost won the
Premier League.
"Almost is nothing.
"After two titles per season for the last three years there were zero titles this season.
"In my philosophy that means a really bad season.
"Maybe in the philosophy of a loser this was a great season, which I respect."
