4) Chelsea – 82 Red Cards

Jose Mourinho Europa League

Under the management of Glenn Hoddle, Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli, the 90s Chelsea weren’t exactly tough to play against, but that began to change under Claudio Ranieri as we headed into the 00s.

Following the start of the Roman Abramovich era and the arrival of Jose Mourinho, the transformation of the Blues’ approach was complete. They became very strong defensively, which meant they did end up in the referee’s notebook more often than not.
