Goodness knows how long Jose Mourinho will be at Chelsea for this time round. He looked to be set for life during his first spell but was sacked by Roman Abramovich to the dismay of the Stamford Bridge faithful. Chelsea look set to win Premier League at a canter and are a good bet to win this season's Champions League. However, you can never tell how happy Jose actually is. If you take a look at his career to date, he rarely sticks around at a club which means Abramovich will need to keep an eye on the managerial merry-go-round. The Special One laded his first top job with Porto in 2002 but left just over two years later to take the Chelsea job, where he would last just over three years. Inter Milan came calling where Jose would deliver the Champions League before leaving less than two years after taking charge. Mourinho then took charge at Real Madrid and left in the summer of 2013 after three years in the job. If his career to date is anything to go by, Chelsea will be looking for a new manager in the summer of 2016. Here are the men that they could turn to...
