Reports have claimed that people close to one manager believe that Chelsea chiefs would not actually want him to take over as their next boss.

According to London World, the currently out of work Jose Mourinho has a belief that those currently at Stamford Bridge would not want him to make a second return to the club where he really made his name in world football.

Mourinho has been without a club since earlier this season, when he was sacked by Roma and relieved of his duties taking over a side where Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku was in form.

It looks as if qualification for European football is going to be an absolute minimum as far as the owners are concerned, with it already being reported that they have done due diligence on a number of potential candidates.
