According to a respected football agent, Jose Mourinho’s agents are set to meet Chelsea FC officials next week in London. The source says that no terms have been agreed between CFC and Mourinho yet. But the information is that Mourinho has requested that Chelsea FC remove certain members of their non-playing staff (coaches and backroom staff).
Removal of backroom staff is routine when a new manager comes in, as he will be bringing in his own backroom staff and coaches. Perhaps this is a sign that Mourinho is serious about moving back to Chelsea FC.
The news comes as a follow-up to comments made by Mourinho in the aftermath of the Champions League semifinal 2nd leg against Dortmund. Mourinho dropped clear hints that he wanted to leave Madrid, and with this latest information, it seems Chelsea is his preferred destination.
