Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck says the clubs manager search will be an open minded process.
The Blues are looking for the 10th manager to operate under owner Roman Abramovich after they sacked Roberto Di Matteo in November and replaced him with Rafael Benitez who will step down from his interim role at season's end.
Buck told Al Jazeera at the Business of Sport summit in Singapore that the club had not yet begun their hunt but were certainly prepared to ponder all possibilities, including the potential return of Jose Mourinho.
"I am completely open minded about it," said Buck.
"We really haven't started that yet.
"We're all thinking about it and have some ideas and certainly Mr Abramovich is thinking about it.
"At the moment we're concentrating on the end of the season."
