Chelsea hero Wilkins confident Mourinho, Abramovich now okay

Chelsea hero Ray Wilkins is delighted to see Jose Mourinho back at the Bridge.

Mourinho won back-to-back Premier League titles during his first spell at Stamford Bridge and regaining the championship is clearly the main aim next season.

Former Chelsea assistant boss Wilkins said: "There's no use Chelsea fighting for third or fourth in the table.

"The best trophy they can win is the main domestic trophy. Anything else will be a bonus."

When Mourinho left Chelsea by mutual consent in 2007 his relationship with the club's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich had broken down.

But Wilkins said: "Jose wanted it one way, Mr Abramovich another way.

"I assume there have been numerous occasions when they have been speaking and they will have come to a very happy ending.

"They'll have been in deep discussion as to which way they're going to go."
