Jose Mourinho has addressed the possibility of returning to Chelsea as manager, amid calls for Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking. Despite his successful previous stints at the club, Mourinho has remained tight-lipped about a potential third tenure. When asked about a possible return, he stated, “We are not here to talk about that. The Chelsea era is over.” Mourinho’s loyalty to Chelsea has been questioned, but he insists his focus is on his current role at Tottenham.
Mourinho has a deep affection for Chelsea, calling it his “home” and expressing his desire for the club’s success. However, he has also made it clear that a return to Stamford Bridge is unlikely, stating, “Chelsea is not the Chelsea we know.” He has also emphasized his desire to take on new challenges and win trophies, saying, “I will only take positions intended to win them.”
Mourinho’s comments have sparked speculation about his future plans, with rumors linking him to Saudi Arabia and Newcastle United. Despite this, he remains committed to his current role at Tottenham, where he has been successful in his 18-month tenure. Mourinho’s legacy at Chelsea is secure, but it seems a return to the club is not on the cards.
