The former manager of Chelsea, and now the man in charge of Real Madrid has said he will not be returning to London in order to manage Chelsea.
After being spotted house hunting in Mayfair yesterday the rumour was that the ex-Chelsea Manager was getting ready to return to his former club.
The man now in charge of the Blues ex-Porto manager Andres Villas-Boas is under pressure to build a new team, and at the same time get results.
Chelsea are currently level with Arsenal in that all important fourth spot in the Premiership, and with dissent in the dressing room between him , and the players tensions are high.
Mourinho while in London went to one of his favourite Italian restaurants La Famiglia, where he talked with the owner.
Afterwards the owners Daughter Marietta said: “It was lovely to see him again after so long away.
“He came in with his wife, sister-in-law and her husband. They had a leisurely lunch and enjoyed themselves.
“Jose was speaking to my father for quite a while, just about family and how the business was doing.
“He said he was house-hunting in the area and was looking for a big place for the whole family.
“A lot of the staff are Chelsea fans, including me, and they were asking him if he was coming back to the club.
“Unfortunately he said he wasn’t. We’re all disappointed as he was a great manager for us. I wish he was coming back.
“He didn’t tell us anything else about his plans, and we didn’t pry as he’s a good customer and a friend.”
With Real Madrid looking like they will win la Liga in Spain it is thought that Mourinho would like to come back to England where he is respected by the fans.
A possible move could be to Spurs if Rednapp takes the England job, but the coveted job for Mourinho would be Manchester United should Sir Alex Ferguson decide to call it a day.
