5 Clubs Jose Mourinho Can Join And Lead To Glory

3: Chelsea

Chelsea have had a mediocre season after a flying start

Mourinho shares a bitter-sweet relationship with the London-based club. He was the one who made Chelsea relevant in the Premier League, by winning two titles consecutively and ending the United-Arsenal duopoly.

He also brought a tactical revolution in the Premiership, introduced the art of pragmatism and employed it to excellent effect too. On his return after nearly seven years, Mourinho won another league title and did decently in the Champions League too.

However, the manner of his exit from Chelsea was such that it scarred his relationship with certain players and the board members too. Now, Chelsea find themselves in a tricky situation yet again. Maurizio Sarri has seen some thumping defeats in his short time there so far, but with an arguably average squad at his disposal, it isn’t easy for him to implement his ideas properly too.

Chelsea, by their nature, might look for better options in the summer if things don’t improve in the next few months. Though it would be unfair on Sarri, that’s just how Chelsea has functioned as a football club over the years.

Their revolving door policy for managers isn’t quite popular amongst the masses, but would they tweak their pattern to give Sarri another chance? If they don’t, then would they look at Mourinho as a possible candidate?

Another worrying factor for them is that they have been hit with a transfer ban for two windows and hence any manager coming in would find it difficult to completely transform the fortunes of the club.

Mourinho could be a possible replacement, considering he is one of the few elite managers available in Europe. Also, despite his differences with the club, he is one of the few gaffers who is well adept with the club’s philosophy and has struck a winning formula with them more than once.
