Jose Mourinho, one of the most loved football managers in the world has signed 4-year deal with Chelsea to become the manager of the west London club for the second time.

Jose Mourinho described Chelsea as his ‘passion’ after signing the deal and several Chelsea fans have taken to social media platforms to celebrate the return of Josh.

Mourinho managed Chelsea between 2004 and 2007, leading the west London club to successive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006.

The 50-year-old succeeds interim manager Rafael Benitez, who had replaced Champions League-winning coach Roberto Di Matteo in November 2012, and following some initial difficulties went on to guide the Blues to a third-place finish as well as winning the Europa League.

Chelsea chief executive Gourlay stated on the club’s official website: “I am delighted to welcome Jose back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate.

Having held meetings to finalise the deal with Blues officials on Monday, just hours after his departure from Real Madrid, Mourinho spoke of his happiness at embarking upon his second spell as Chelsea manager.

When asked by a Chelsea TV journalist if he promised to deliver the same quality to Stamford Bridge as he did during his previous tenure, Mourinho replied: ‘It is exactly the same message but now I can say I am one of you and that is the difference. I never hid that in football, in my career, I had two great passions. Inter and Chelsea. And Chelsea is more than important for me.

‘It was very, very hard to play against Chelsea and I did it only twice which was not so bad. I promise exactly the same things as I promised in 2004 with the difference that I am one of you.’
