Chelsea transfer news as Jose Mourinho Roma departure opens up three unexpected opportunities.

Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho’s last act as Roma manager was as typical of the former Blues boss as can be imagined. He simultaneously continued to compare himself to Harry Potter, motivated his troops, lost to AC Milan pretty meekly and did it all just a few days after all but ending the chances of Chelsea signing a long-term transfer target.

His exit comes in a way that has been seen all too often previously as well. His Roma had slid down the table, though were only five points off the top four, but had won one in five games and weren’t playing a particularly exciting brand of football either. Gone was the younger look to his team that had added gloss to impressive first two years.

The love for Mourinho hadn’t dissipated from the home support. After all, he had become the life and soul and embodiment of the club, but form had disappeared and so had vision. For Chelsea this comes at an interesting crossroads.

Mourinho is still seen as a man that bleeds blue – something he may well admit once more as he has done in the past – not a statement that can be made for many of the new recruits at any level of the club right now. He also represents better times.

It is understandable why he is so sought after by some of the fans that have grown frustrated at the words ‘progress,’ ‘project’ and ‘reality.’ With Mauricio Pochettino under pressure to turn things around and Mourinho now out of a job it doesn’t take much wondering of the mind to imagine a world where he is back at Stamford Bridge.

His Roma departure could have wider impacts though. A growing link has been formed between Roma and Chelsea in recent years and it’s one that doesn’t look set to end now even if Mourinho has gone.tunities
