Football: Agents in Mutu axe.

Byline: DARREN LEWIS 

ADRIAN MUTU has sacked his agents - a week after they successfully fought for a reduced seven-month ban for his cocaine offence.

Brothers Victor and Ioan Becali, together with Players' Union chief Gordon Taylor, ensured the striker was not hit with the maximum two-year ban after testing positive for cocaine.

However, Mutu is furious with Ioan after he went on TV to undermine the player's attempts to deny the charge.

The agent also revealed Mutu's war of words with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and told how he'd lied for the striker so that he could go to parties instead of going into the club.

Now Mutu, who will today outline his future plans, intends to recruit a new, smaller team of representatives to secure a move to a London club once his ban ends.
