The leadership of London's Chelsea Football Club has rejected the idea of appointing Jose Mourinho as head coach for a third time following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior. Despite strong pressure from fans to bring back the Portuguese specialist, the club's owners are considering other candidates. A return to Stamford Bridge for Mourinho, who is currently enjoying a successful stint at Benfica, is considered unlikely, according to a report by Goal.com.
In the process of searching for a permanent successor to Rosenior, club management is focusing on young managers with modern tactical approaches. Candidates reportedly include Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and Fulham boss Marco Silva. The club's owners prefer a new long-term project over a sentimental reunion with the most successful manager in Chelsea's history.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Mourinho himself plans to transition from club football to the national team level in the near future. Experts note a high probability that he will take charge of the Portugal national team after the World Cup. For now, Calum McFarlane will serve as interim manager for the London side until the end of the season.
