Jose Mourinho Appointed Chelsea Boss On 4-Year Deal Worth £40 Million

By Matt Robinson /

The Sun, Jose Mourinho been appointed the manager of Chelsea FC for the second time. The self proclaimed €˜Special One€™ signed a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night believing to be worth around £40 million. An unnamed Chelsea source said:

€œIt€™s official Jose is a Chelsea man again! Everyone is delighted he€™s coming back €” the club, the players and the fans. We are already looking forward to next season €” we are sure it€™s going to be very exciting.€
The 50-year-old has been linked with a sensational return to Stamford Bridge for sometime and as the cracks began to show at Spanish side Real Madrid the deal looked ever more promising. Mourinho was in London to sign the contract with the Blues but tried to deceive many by attending the Championship final play off between Crystal Palace and Watford at Wembley on Monday. Mourinho take over from interim manager Rafa Benitez who signed a deal with Italian side Napoli earlier this week. Mourinho will likely have huge plans for the Europa League champions and with the club being linked with several key stars such as Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho could spend big if Chelsea chairman, Roman Abramovich allows him to. Mourinho has a proven track record with a variety of clubs including Inter Milan, FC Porto, Real Madrid and Chelsea. The Portugese manager won the Champions League with FC Porto and Inter Milan but after failing to do the same with Real Madrid, Jose will likely want to lead Chelsea to their second ever Champions League victory. His first spell at the Bridge led to winning six trophies in just three years and fans will hope Mourinho will return to that record sooner rather than later.
