Pietersen, a South African-born Chelsea supporter, raged at the club in an Instagram post:

"Please take my picture down? I don't want an association with a club that's managed by a clown who is completely disrespecting the greatest footballer of our time! @cristiano is the BOSS. That clown who no one will remember, needs a wake up."
