Jose Mourinho, the legendary manager of Chelsea, recently revealed that he can hear the fans cheering for their team from his house. Despite living only two minutes away from Stamford Bridge, he has stopped attending games. This comes as a surprise to many, as Mourinho had two successful spells with Chelsea, winning multiple titles including the Premier League and FA Cup.
In his first stint with the club, Mourinho led Chelsea to back-to-back Premier League titles and also won the FA Cup and two League Cups. After a brief departure, he returned to the club in 2013 and once again delivered a Premier League trophy and a League Cup before leaving in 2015. Recently, there were rumors of him being considered for a third spell as the manager of Chelsea, amidst pressure on current boss Mauricio Pochettino.
After a disappointing 2-2 draw against Brentford in March, Chelsea fans chanted Mourinho's name, hoping for his return. However, in an interview with Portuguese outlet A Bola, Mourinho explained why he has stopped attending games. "I've always kept myself away from any unethical behavior. I live only two minutes away from Chelsea's stadium and I can hear the goals and the fans' demonstrations from my house. The day the stadium started singing my name, I stopped going to football. I prefer to go to other stadiums," he said.
Mourinho went on to reveal that it takes him 20-30 minutes to reach Benfica's stadium from his other house and he has attended two or three games there. However, he stopped going because of the constant questions about whether he will become the manager of Benfica. "They have made my life difficult with those questions," he added.
Former Chelsea player William Gallas also weighed in on the situation, warning that the current squad is not strong enough to work with Mourinho if he were to return to Stamford Bridge. "With Jose, you have to give him the right players, it's that simple. You need warriors on the field, players who are willing to fight and make sacrifices. Some of Chelsea's players are not strong enough to work with Mourinho," he said.
In conclusion, it seems like Mourinho's return to Chelsea is unlikely, at least for now. The fans may want him back, but it takes more than just a desire to win titles - it requires a strong and determined team. As for Mourinho, he will continue to support his former team from a distance, as he believes that is the best for everyone involved.
