Mourinho: I agreed move back to Chelsea in just five minutes

Jose Mourinho says it took him “five minutes” of a meeting with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to agree a return to Stamford Bridge after six years away.

The Portuguese coach travelled to London yesterday to complete the formalities of a second stint in charge of the West London club after his exit from Real Madrid was confirmed, penning a four-year deal.

Mourinho, right, was headhunted by the Blues after guiding Porto to Champions League glory in 2004, and would lead Chelsea to successive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, before leaving after his relationship with owner Abramovich broke down and they parted company, officially by mutual consent at the time.
