Brought back Jose Mourinho
It might not look as good right now; but bringing back Jose Mourinho was a masterstroke by Roman Abramovich.
Following the departure of some high profile Chelsea stars, as well as the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo and subsequent hiring of Rafael Benitez – the Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern had a sour taste in their mouth.
For the first time since his arrival at Stamford Bridge, Roman Abramovich was turning heads at Chelsea for the wrong reasons – and the fans were beginning to turn on the Russian businessman.
The arrival of Jose Mourinho helped to get fans back on side, with many supporters seeing the decision as a fresh start.
It didn’t turn out the way that everyone had hoped, but signing Mourinho solved, if only temporarily, Chelsea’s issues – and his tenure lasted long enough that the fans forgot what had preceded it
