Benitez expects Mourinho return

Rafael Benitez hopes to guide Chelsea to a Champions League return before handing over to his successor – and the Spaniard has suggested the new boss will be Jose Mourinho.

Speaking ahead of tonight’s Barclays Premier League clash with Tottenham, where victory would virtually seal Champions League football next season for the 2012 winners, Benitez indicated he expects Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge.
