Chelsea: 5 Reasons Jose Mourinho's Return Would Lead To Disaster

By Joseph Dempsey /

crazy rant back in February culminating in the announcement that he would be stepping down from his post in the summer, speculation has been rife regarding his replacement at Stamford Bridge. One man who has emerged as the obvious favourite to take over at the helm is Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, who spent three years at the club between 2004 and 2007 and oversaw the most successful period in the Blues history. Since his dismissal by "mutual consent" by owner Roman Abramovich, the Portuguese' has managed Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and has enjoyed tremendous success - winning the Champions League with the Italian side in 2010 and last year bringing the La Liga title to the Bernabeu for the Spanish giants. And his "galacticos" are also on the verge of a historic "La Decima" - a record tenth European crown. But it is looking increasingly likely that his tenure in Madrid will come to a close in the summer. This makes him the obvious replacement to take over from the hugely unpopular Benitez, who has failed to win over supporters from day one. However, here, we outline 5 reasons why it would be a bad idea - both from Chelsea's perspective and Mourinho's. Click "Next" to find out why.
