The veteran tactician parted ways with the Italian club by mutual consent on Tuesday, January 16.

In a statement by Roma, the Italian side announced that Mourinho will be departing the club alongside his technical staff.

Roma's decision to sack the former Premier League boss came at a time when the Rome-based club have struggled to post positive results.

Chelsea fans beg Mourinho to return

Mourinho's Roma exit has now prompted calls from a section of Chelsea fans for the Portuguese to return to the club for the third time.

The Blues have endured their fair share of struggles in the last two years, with the 2021 Champions League winners unable to compete in the Premier League.

Chelsea, who are under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino, currently sit ninth in the Premier League table and face a mountainous task in their hope of sealing European football at the end of the season.

Some Blues fans contend Mourinho could be the answer to their struggles, with @CFCAllyRhodes posting:

"I could never disagree with the appointment of Mourinho. For a 3rd time, yes please. We win the league and he cements himself as the greatest ever manager in our history."

@aday__7 argued:

"Him with Boehly money will do unthinkable at Chelsea."
