Jose Mourinho "ready to shock the return of Chelsea" despite Newcastle's interest

Jose Mourinho could be placed for a sensational third episode as manager of Chelsea.

Mourinho's privileged relationship with the Blues began when, just after his Champions League success in Porto, he won two consecutive Premier League titles, as well as the League Cup and FA Cup, before arguing with Roman Abramovich and leave in 2007.

He was welcomed as a hero back in 2013 after stints at Inter Milan, where he once again won the Champions League, and at Real Madrid and delivered a third Premier League title at Stamford Bridge.

But Portuguese tactics quickly turned sour and he was removed from his duties eight days before Christmas 2015, after overseeing a terrible period of fitness in West London.

However, the Sun claimed that Mourinho would be one of the potential candidates for care if Maurizio Sarri, as planned, decided to return to Italy and join Juventus.

Mourinho still lives in London and is a high-profile outsider to become the new boss of the Blues, although club legend Frank Lampard, currently head of the Derby, is the favorite.

The latest move came after reports revealed that Newcastle was considering a decisive blow for the former Manchester United manager.

The 56-year-old is ready to talk to Newcastle's potential new owner if billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan calls him.

Advisers representing Sheikh insist that his £ 350 million offer for the Premier League club is genuine, although current owner Mike Ashley has yet to see any evidence of the takeover .

As we revealed exclusively last weekend, Sheikh Khaled has his own management goals. The future of Rafa Benitez in Tyneside is still in doubt.

One of them is the former boss of Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid, Mourinho, who is aware of this interest and who told his friends that the work in Newcastle is a project he would seriously consider .
