Chelsea told to bring former star as Mourinho’s assistant

Football pundit, Richard Keys has sent an advice to Chelsea amid their woes this season

Keys in his statement urged the Blues to make a move for Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge.

He further added that the Blues should make their former captain John Terry, Mourinho’s assistant.

As of now, Frank Laampard, a Chelsea legend is currently in charge at the club on an interim basis following the sacking of Graham Potter.

Chelsea are currently on the lookout for the right manager to take over permanently, who would become the fourth manager since Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali took over the club from Roman Abramovich in May 2022.

“My choice would be Jose Mourinho with John Terry as his assistant. Chelsea fans would buy into that, and I think Mourinho would have the strength to sort it all out. He’s still the Special One,” Keys told BeIN Sport.

While Mourinho has expressed interest to return to the Premier League, he has not been named as one of the managers on Chelsea’s target list.
