"I belong to their story, they belong to my story so I am not enjoying this period where they have had several managers in one year and a few months. I hope they find stability and go back to (winning) trophies," Mourinho said.

I think Chelsea's fan would love to see Mourinho back with Chelsea. Mourinho managed to win 2 Premier League title in his three years spell with Chelsea. However he failed to bring entertaining football to Chelsea. But again, results are that matters. There is no doubt that he is the special one.
