Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has hinted he could return to Chelsea with his future in Spain in major doubt beyond this season.
The self-anointed ‘Special One’ is set to leave Real at the end of the season after a difficult campaign where he’s been criticised by the club’s fans and Spanish media, with Barcelona racing away with the league title.
Chelsea are in the market for a new boss, following the axeing of Roberto Di Matteo earlier this season and with interim manager Rafa Benitez only taking the helm until the end of the campaign.
Mourinho, who guided Chelsea to the Premier League title twice and the FA Cup once, hinted to the The Sun he could return to a former club as he considers his future.
“Everyone knows I have an adventurous spirit,” Mourinho said. “It’s not easy for my family. We’ll see what happens. After England, Portugal, Italy and Spain, it’s not easy to find a new destination.
“It could be a destination where I have coached before. There are things that may be about to happen no one could imagine.”
Mourinho has previously managed FC Porto and Inter Milan as well as the Blues.
