Former Chelsea star Graeme Le Saux has cast doubt on Jose Mourinho's return.

Le Saux believes there's still some way to go before Mourinho's return is confirmed.

"At the moment we are still speculating and I am still in the camp that wants to give Rafa Benitez a huge amount of credit for what he has achieved. He did a tremendous job and so did the players," he told talkSPORT.

"Jose Mourinho has built up a brand in terms of the way he is and he has been a fantastic manager in the clubs that he has been at.

"When he was at Chelsea he brought incredible success to the club over a short period of time.

"He is a character who I am sure many English and European clubs would want."
