Jose Mourinho, the legendary former Chelsea manager, has spoken passionately about his enduring love for the club and his sincere hope that Chelsea can rediscover their best form following the turbulent period since Roman Abramovich’s departure.
In a candid interview, Mourinho reflected on the significant changes at Stamford Bridge after the sale of the club in 2022, acknowledging the challenges the Blues have faced in maintaining the consistent success that defined the Abramovich era.
“I have always hoped and believed that Chelsea can get back to their best form once again,” Mourinho said. “The club achieved incredible things under Roman Abramovich – multiple Premier League titles, Champions League glory, and a dynasty of success. That DNA is still there in the club and the fans. I truly hope the new ownership can rebuild that winning culture and bring the glory days back to Stamford Bridge.”
Mourinho, who enjoyed two hugely successful spells at Chelsea (2004-2007 and 2013-2015), winning three Premier League titles, two League Cups, one FA Cup, and one Community Shield, also revealed his deep personal connection to the famous stadium.
“Even after all these years, I have always wanted to stay close to Stamford Bridge,” he added with a smile. “There is something magical about that place. I wanted to be near so I could listen to the sound of success – the roar of the crowd when the team is winning, the chants echoing through the stands, the electric atmosphere on European nights. That sound… it stays with you forever.”
The Portuguese coach, affectionately known as “The Special One,” emphasized that his affection for Chelsea and its supporters remains strong despite moving on to other clubs in his illustrious career.
“Chelsea will always have a special place in my heart,” Mourinho concluded. “The fans, the club, the history – it’s part of who I am as a manager. I wish them nothing but the best as they strive to return to the pinnacle of English and European football.”
Mourinho’s comments come at a time when Chelsea are navigating a new era under their current ownership, with fans eagerly anticipating a return to sustained competitiveness both domestically and on the continent.
