Chelsea fans have shared mixed reactions to emerging reports suggesting Jose Mourinho is eyeing a return to Stamford Bridge.

The Portuguese veteran is currently attached to AS Roma, who hired him back in 2021 after his shocking sacking by Tottenham Hotspur.

Mourinho enjoyed an illustrious career in the Premier League and had the rare opportunity of managing Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs.

However, his most successful stint in the English top flight was during his six-year reign at Stamford Bridge, spread across two spells.

However, the 60-year-old seems to have unfinished business with the west London club.

According to Talksport, the Special One has already confided with Chelsea chiefs about his desire to return to Stamford Bridge for a third time.

Mourinho's desire to make a sensational return to the Premier League club comes at a time when the Blues are struggling for form under Graham Potter.

The 2021 Champions League winners are currently placed 10th on the standings with just 29 points, a massive 10 points behind a top-four spot.

As expected, a section of fans has already taken to social media to express their feelings on the news linking Mourinho with a return to Chelsea.
