Why Jose Mourinho rejected Chelsea's approach
Jose Mourinho has rejected a potential move to Chelsea after being linked back to Stamford Bridge for the managerial position.
Morris was hired by Swindon at the end of January after Steve Mildenhall was fired but he has failed to impress since his arrival as the team currently sits in tenth place in League Two. The former Chelsea assistant manager only won four games out of 18 games, while he drew four and lost ten.
In the final game he coached before being fired, Swindon grabbed the lead against Crewe but lost 2-1 due to two late goals.
