Eden Hazard worked with quite a few different managers during his time at Chelsea.
The former winger was coached by the likes of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, for example.
And speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Eden Hazard has now revealed that his relationship with Mourinho started to deteriorate.
Mourinho’s final season in charge of Chelsea was one to forget for the 61-year-old and Hazard.
He was sacked midway through the 2015/16 campaign, while Hazard struggled for form before and after his dismissal. In total, the Belgian scored just four goals in 31 Premier League appearances.
Eden Hazard’s relationship with Jose Mourinho
Hazard has admitted that his relationship with Mourinho started to break down but says he still has the utmost respect for his former manager.
“The second season of Jose, we won the league and the League Cup and then the third season was like starting problems, we lost games,” the Chelsea legend said. “And at the end, the relation just went away a little bit. But I just have huge respect for him and what he’s done in his whole career.”
