Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has passed on his thanks to departing manager Jose Mourinho.
The Blues announced earlier today that they had parted company with the Portuguese boss following a run of results that has seen them slip to 16th in the Premier League, just one point off the relegation zone.
There had been suggestions that the relationship between Mourinho and the majority of his players had become strained, but Spaniard Fabregas has still taken the opportunity to pass on his gratitude and best wishes.
