A big moment will take place on Tuesday, September 30 in the UEFA Champions League when Jose Mourinho makes a return to Stamford Bridge when Chelsea host Portuguese side Benfica at 19:00 GMT.
Mourinho had an iconic run in two spells at Stamford Bridge before spells in Italy and Turkey led him to Benfica where his legendary head coaching career started.
Speaking in a post-game presser, Mourinho confessed his love for the London club stating that he will be always be a Blue stating,
“Of course I will always be a Blue. I am part of their history and they are part of my history. I helped them to become a bigger Chelsea and they helped me to become a bigger Jose. When I say I’m not a Blue, I hope everybody understands it that I’m speaking about the job that I have to do [on Tuesday]” he said.
There was some level of controversy when Mourinho said he was a Red in a prior pre-game presser but the Portuguese manager clarified his stance with the aforementioned statement.
In his first game on his return as Benfica head coach, Mourinho bagged a 2-1 win over Gil Vicente.
