With the return of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea have a great chance to challenge for the EPL next season.
Mourinho is Chelsea's most illustrious manager of recent times and the former Madrid boss is still well-respected at the bridge, but will a second spell in charge bring as much success as his first stint?
The landscape has changed somewhat in the years since Mourinho graced the Premiership, so does he still have what it takes?
Chelsea's squad has an emphasis for flair with players like Mata and Oscar, who have been described as different to the typical Mourinho player, but players of such a high calibre can enhance any team in the EPL.
Mourinho is loved by many Chelsea fans who feel he should have never left and he will certainly be given more time than Benitez was ever afforded, but what will he do with the time allotted?
Will Chelsea return to the siege mentality that defined them so well during Mourinho's first tenure?
At first I was apprehensive about his return, but when the rumours of Man City putting in an offer came around, my mind was made up and thankfully, we were able to seal the deal.
I think it'll be hard to emulate the record breaking form of his first stint as manager, but with the fans and key players in the dressing room with him we have a great chance to challenge for the title, especially with SAF's retirement and Mancini moving on from City.
All in all, I wish Mourinho well in his new job, I just hope he can live up to his reputation as one of the greatest managers in the world.
