John Obi Mikel brands Chelsea "crazy" amid manager speculation

Mikel: 'Chelsea is a crazy club'

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has described the West London outfit as a "crazy" club amid speculation over who could become the Blues' next manager.

Current interim coach Rafael Benitez has reiterated that he will leave Stamford Bridge when the season comes to a close, prompting rumours that Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is poised to return to the Premier League club.

"The club is crazy, it is," ESPN quotes Mikel as saying. "But we have to keep doing our job. We're players. The board, the owners, make the decision and we have to stick by whoever comes in. I don't know what's happening. It seems another manager is going to come in."

Meanwhile, the Blues are trying to ensure a place in the top four of the table, as well as finish the season with silverware if they win the Europa League final.
