Jose Mourinho returns to Chelsea
Jose Mourinho has reiterated the promise he made to Chelsea fans back in 2004 after being appointed manager at Stamford Bridge for the second time.
"I am delighted to welcome Jose back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate," Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay said in a statement.
"It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future, and Jose is our number one choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that."
Chelsea confirmed on Monday that the 50-year-old Portuguese coach, who on his first day at Chelsea in 2004 declared himself a "Special One," was hired on a four-year contract after completing a three-season stint at Real Madrid in which his final campaign ended without a trophy.
Chelsea said the 50-year-old would bring his three coaching staff -- Rui Faria, Silvino Louro and Jose Morais -- who will work alongside the current first-team coaches Steve Holland, Christophe Lollichon and Chris Jones.

Mourinho first joined Chelsea on June 2, 2004 after having led Porto to the European title the previous season.
Mourinho, who left Real Madrid last weekend after three years in Spain, returns to a club where he won the 2005 and 2006 Premier League titles, as well an FA Cup and two League Cups between 2004 and 2007.
"I think I arrive in my club, my Chelsea, in the best moment of my career, my stability as a manager, my stability as a person," Mourinho said.
"I arrive in the best moment ready to give everything I have to try and make the club happy.
"I'm the same nature but much more mature with a different approach to things. Much more ready to establish myself in the club and stay for a long time."
