I offered myself to Chelsea – Former Chelsea boss wants Chelsea job
According to latest reports, Jose Mourinho’s hat has been thrown into the ring as a potential new Chelsea manager, but we can only imagine that’s come from Jose or his agent Jorge Mendes.
Being linked with the role – no matter how unlikely – only serves to improve his position at Roma, making him seem in demand and reinforcing that they’re “lucky” to have a top tier manager at a team that has not competed for Champions League titles for decades.
The new ownership just don’t seem like the type to be interested in Mourinho, especially given his track record at the club. They want a yes-man, and someone who won’t cause trouble or tarnish the club’s image. They want to move away from the Abramovich-Mourinho years, not go back to them.
It’s hard to see them plumping for Mourinho even if he was at the top of his game – and at this stage it feels like it’s been some years since Jose was at the cutting edge.
