The manager of Sunderland, Sam Allardyce, did not hide his surprise by the dismissal of Jose Mourinho as a manager of Chelsea.
`I`m shocked, I must admit it.`, said Allardyce, whose team is up against Chelsea in the next round of the Premier League.
`The moment when that happens is astounding, whether you feel he need to be fired or not. I thought that`s not going to happen just a few days before our match.`, said the manager of Sunderland.
"`t this time of the year to try to bring in a new manager with all these matches according www.sporttips.org around Christmas, is an odd choice. However, we don`t know what happened behind the scenes. It would be very strange not to see Jose on the bench.`, said Allardyce.
