Football: The Return of the Special One

It is now confirmed that Jose Mourinho has returned to manage his beloved Chelsea after a ropey 3 years in Spain managing the giants of Real Madrid. First time round, he announced himself as the 'Special One' in his first English press conference, and he certainly lived up to that label as he won back to back Premier League titles, an FA Cup, 2 League Cups and a Community Shield. Personally, I think it is great that he is coming back - the passion, controversy, ability and personality of the man will contribute amazingly to what already is set up to be an enthralling new campaign. 

As well as Mourinho, the best league in the world will also be host to other brilliantly entertaining managers such as Ian Holloway and Paolo Di Canio.

So excitement has now filled the lungs of pretty much every Chelsea fan, but is the return of the Special One really the missing piece of the puzzle? I suppose only time will tell. 

Just one thing to add, I do believe that the Interim boss, Rafael Benitez, did an incredible job at the blues amongst a time of turmoil and anger around the club. His calm, tactical and thorough nature of management really shone through, and the results came as he led the team to win the Europa League, and the side also finished 3rd in the Premier League. IMO, he is an outstanding manager and Chelsea fans should appreciate and, at the very least, respect the work of the Spaniard at the club.

But now we all make way for Jose - show us what you can do 'Special One'.
