Return of the Special One? Jose's secret London househunting mission
Jose Mourinho swept back into Britain sparking speculation of
Chelsea comeback - though he has also been linked with Spurs and ArsenalJose Mourinho swept back into Britain yesterday... lining himself up for a dramatic return to the Premier League he loves.
He went househunting in London sparking speculation of a comeback at troubled Chelsea, but he has also been linked with Spurs and Arsenal.
The Special One lit up English football during his colourful reign at Stamford Bridge and left with some “unfinished business”.
The 49-year-old, who impressed and infuriated fans in almost equal measure during his three seasons as Chelsea boss, spent a day househunting in West London with his wife Tami, 41, and two children.
A source said: “It’s no secret Jose wants another crack at the Premier League.
“He has always felt like he has a -particular bond with English fans and had some of the happiest years of his life managing Chelsea.
“He has unfinished business and would love to win the -European Cup with a big side, which is one thing he didn’t manage to do in England.
“It also helps that he loves living in London, and his family are used to the city.”
But the charismatic Real Madrid boss’s secret trip to the capital could spell bad news for current Chelsea chief Andre Villas-Boas who is -struggling to succeed at Stamford Bridge as the spectre of impatient billionaire owner Roman Abramovich looms over him.
AVB worked under Mourinho during his Chelsea reign.
But it could herald good tidings for Tottenham fans who will need a replacement for boss Harry Redknapp if he takes the England job or Arsenal supporters should under-fire Arsene Wenger quit.
Mourinho won every domestic honour during his time with Chelsea, including two Premier League titles, the first in his debut season in 2004. It ended a 50-year wait for the championship.
But his failure to land the -European Cup the Russian owner craves ultimately cost him his job in 2007.
The -Portuguese idol, who has melted the hearts of women fans across Europe, is -understood to have viewed several homes with his family.
It is thought he favours Belgravia. -Mourinho still owns a flat in the area but is said to want a bigger home now daughter Matilde and son Jose Junior are older.
