For Chelsea fans the world over, the imminent return of Jose Mourinho is the best thing that can happen to the football club. The self styled special one brought Chelsea a first league crown in fifty years and a host of my trophies in his three and a half year spell in charge. He also made Chelsea with the backing of Abramovich's billions one of the toughest clubs in Europe.
The fans adore him and the few players left in the squad from his time in charge worship his every move. The question now is will Jose be a huge success in his second spell in charge?
The signs are obvious that he will. The end of the Ferguson era at United, Arsenal's refusal to get quality players and City's disarray have led the bookmarkers to pick Chelsea as firm favourites for the league title next season.
I however doubt Jose will be as successful in his second spell as he was in his first. The point in which Chelsea football club is does not call for a manager with Jose's attitude. One in which he leads like and army general. This attitude and tactics of us against the world backfired and has ended in disappointing fashion in Madrid. In Jose Time at Stamford Bridge the lavish sum spent on the academy was at best wasted, as he failed to give the youth players a chance with the senior team.
Chelsea right now need a coach that will mix youth with experience and not need to spend over the top to achieve success. Perhaps that was the thinking of Roman when he craved for Pep. Missing out on Pep however doesn't mean Chelsea can still achieve these objectives. The like of Jurgen Klupp and Antonio Conte can help achieve success while integrating youth and experience and also being able to win trophies. A man like Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid can also be another option.
Going back to is clearly not what Chelsea need, it is a decision made out of desperation.
