Jose Mourinho
It's official: Jose Mourinho is headed back to Chelsea. The news comes via Chelsea's team website: 'Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Jose Mourinho as First Team Manager.' Mourinho has signed a four-year contract and will return to the club where he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups between 2004 and 2007.
The move has been speculated for a while, but now it's a done deal, reports Sky Sports. Chelsea will be hoping that the veteran manager can bring some stability, which hasn't been seen at Stamford Bridge since Mourinho himself left Chelsea unexpectedly in 2007.
In 2009, caretaker manager Guus Hiddink took over on an interim basis. He was soon replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked after two seasons. Andre Villas-Boas then took over, but he was dismissed less than a year later, opening the door for caretaker manager Roberto Di Matteo.
Di Matteo led the Blues to their first Champions League title and was made permanent manager, but it wasn't long before he was replaced by Rafael Benitez, who recently departed for Napoli after a short stint on the sidelines in London.
