"I am feeling home. I have already played here with Spurs, Manchester United and Inter. But I am not a blue now. I am red. And I want to win. I am expecting two teams wanting to win.

"Since then, the new Benfica boss has failed to win in each of his six away games against the Blues across all competitions (D2 L4). Mourinho has also won only four of his 14 matches against Chelsea across all competitions (D3 L7), with none of those victories coming in the seven most recent games. In fact, not since February 2018 has he beaten Chelsea, guiding Manchester United to a 2-1 triumph over them at Old Trafford."
"Mourinho enjoyed two successful stints with Chelsea, winning eight major trophies, which include three Premier League titles and as many EFL Cup trophies. The 62-year-old was most recently in charge of Fenerbahce but was sacked after failing to qualify for Europe's elite competition, losing in a play-off qualifier to Benfica. But a poor run of form for Benfica saw Bruno Lage relieved of his duties, with Mourinho returning to the club he started his managerial career at 25 years ago."
