Chelsea in turmoil as rumors of Jose Mourinho returning for a third stint at the club surface
According to reports, Jose Mourinho is seeking a return to Chelsea, which would be his third stint with the club, after becoming frustrated with Roma this season.
The Portuguese manager moved to Rome after enduring a difficult period prior to his dismissal from Tottenham, where he coached following his second departure from Chelsea.
According to the Daily Mail, returning to Chelsea for a third time would be Mourinho’s ideal scenario, and his representatives have already informed the Blues of his interest in the position should a vacancy arise.
Graham Potter’s tenure at Stamford Bridge has gotten off to a shaky start, and the Blues are currently in tenth place in the Premier League table after replacing Thomas Tuchel midseason.
The Chelsea hierarchy maintains that Potter’s hiring is part of a long-term plan and that he will not be fired if he fails to secure Champions League football for the upcoming season.
Mourinho has always preferred working in England, and his family still resides in London, which could entice him to return to the league, although he does not wish to leave Roma in the middle of the season.
Mourinho’s squad is currently fifth in Serie A, but lacks the financial resources to challenge Napoli for first place.
Mourinho left England after failing to achieve success with Spurs, but was fired shortly before his team faced Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final.
Even though he may be interested in returning to Stamford Bridge, CBS Sports reports that Potter has been assured that his job is secure for the time being during the World Cup.
This month, Joao Felix, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos, and David Datso Fofana joined the club, as well as Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, and Benoit Badiashile.
