Could Mourinho be back for a third spell in charge?

Football's top transfers from the 2019 summer transfer window so far Mourinho, 56, is the most successful manager in the club’s history, boasting three Premier League titles over two spells and five years at Stamford Bridge.Twice he has been sacked by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, in 2007 and 2015, the latter amid the Blues’ collapse following their 2014/15 title-winning campaign.And according to The Sun, the former Manchester United boss, currently without a job, is ready to return to Stamford Bridge.
