“Special One” back at Stamford Bridge

Mourinho unmoved by Chelsea return

Jose Mourinho has revealed he is unmoved about the prospect of returning to Chelsea after Inter Milan drew his former club in the last 16 of the Champions League.

“I don’t have much to say,” the Portuguese coach, who led the Blues to the 2005 and 2006 Premier League titles, told a news conference on Saturday.

“There are more than two months to go and we have many matches to pay before.

“All the things that you can say are no different. It’s the same story as always. (They are) an important opponent, a difficult opponent, an opponent we know.

“Two matches that are expected to be evenly balanced, a tie that is expected to go all the way. Nothing special. OK, they are my former team, my former players, my former fans and my former stadium.

“It’s all ‘former’. As a professional, I look at the game no differently than I would against Manchester United, Arsenal or another team.”

Mourinho’s only previous return to England - since his Stamford Bridge departure - came last season, when his Inter side were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by Manchester United.
