Chelsea Transfers: 5 Players Jose Mourinho Would Bring To Stamford Bridge
could be about to make a very special return to Stamford Bridge. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has been heavily tipped as the successor to outgoing Rafael Benitez as Chelsea manager this summer, and according to various reports, owner Roman Abramovich has conceded that re-appointing the man who departed the club six years ago is currently the best option available to him, having seen Pep Guardiola snub his overtures in favour of Bayern Munich. Mourinho enjoyed tremendous success with the Blues and helped smooth over their transition from Premier League "nearly men" into title winners in the formative years of Abramovich's take-over of the club in 2004.
