Jose Mourinho has returned to Stamford Bridge after agreeing to take over as Chelsea manager for the second time.

The 50-year-old Portuguese, who guided Chelsea to back-to-back Barclays Premier League titles in his first two seasons in charge, returns to the west London club after an absence of almost six-years.

Mourinho, who has twice won the UEFA Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan, has won three league titles since leaving Chelsea in September 2007, guiding Inter to two Serie A triumphs and winning La Liga at Real Madrid, where he has been in charge for the last three seasons.

Mourinho first took over at Chelsea on 2 June 2004 and in his inaugural campaign the Blues romped to their first domestic title in 50 years with a record Premier League points haul of 95 and an as yet unsurpassed defensive record of only 15 goals conceded.

The Blues also won the League Cup that season and reached the last four of the Champions League for the second year in a row. The following campaign Chelsea successfully defended their title Barclays Premier League title.

In his last full season at the club Mourinho helped Chelsea achieve a cup double as the Blues lifted both the FA Cup and the League Cup. He left Stamford Bridge in September 2007.

Last season Chelsea qualified for the Champions League by finishing third in the English top flight under the guidance of interim manager Rafael Benitez, who took over from Roberto Di Matteo in November to lead his side to UEFA Europa League victory.

Well my first thought was that it was probably just a template they created so that when the news was announced by the club officially, they could immediately break the news. Does it really mean they are "in the know"?

Anyway everyone knew this was going to happen

Let the Party begin! :yay:

Unless the Official Premier League website gaffed up awfully, the wait is over. It's done, The Special One has returned.

A huge mix-up but if the Premier League website has gotten news then i think Chelsea will confirm it today itself. Happy days ahead :)

Pretty sure that's the case. They supposed to save it as draft but somehow published it.

Yup, someone at the premier league office got a bit itchy and wanted to steal Chelsea's thunder. :D
