Chelsea have announced the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the club’s new manager.
Mourinho returns to the club he bossed between 2004 and 2007 on a four-year contract, fresh off having left Real Madrid yesterday.
Chelsea CEO Ron Gourlay was quick to welcome Mourinho back to Stamford Bridge, commenting: "’I am delighted to welcome Jose back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate.
"It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future and Jose is our number one choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that.

Mourinho left Chelsea in 2007 and moved to take over at Italian giants Inter, who he led to an unprecedented Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble in 2010.
He departed Inter that summer to join Real Madrid, where he won La Liga in 2012.
