In an interview with skysport.com Mourinho said, "If you ask me if one day I think I will return to Chelsea, I will tell you yes I think so, I think so because we were so happy together."

He said that he still supports Chelsea. With the current problems at Chelsea, he wishes them all the best and hope they can win trophies. He admitted that Chelsea is a special club for him.

"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.
