Gary Cahill says Jose Mourinho is 'held in high esteem' at Chelsea and would love to have him return to Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese is being heavily linked with the vacant Blues job as he gets set to depart Real Madrid and centre-back Cahill admits it would be a great move by the Southwest London club to get him back to his happy hunting ground.
"I know that he is held in high esteem here, the lads speak highly of him, everyone speaks highly of him, so he must have something about him," the former Bolton man told Sky Sports News.
"Any player would relish working under somebody like that and look forward to it.
"If it is that, we don't know, but I'm sure every player would like to work under somebody like that."
