A return to Chelsea for Jose Mourinho is being seriously considered, it has been revealed. Real Madrid coach Mourinho and Blues owner Roman Abramovich have patched up their differences in the last year and are in regular contact.

"It's possible," said one source, who knows about these kind of things, to the Telegraph.

Mourinho has made no secret that he wants to return to the Premier League when he leaves Real Madrid, and that could well happen this summer, but as much as he might consider Tottenham Hotspur should Harry Redknapp go - had they a new stadium on stream, it would help - and as much as he still has a romantic notion about Liverpool and an interesting bond with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Chelsea are in his system.
