He oversaw two Premier League title triumphs during that initial reign in west London.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He returned to familiar surroundings in 2013, following spells at Inter and Real Madrid, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sensitive-chelsea-stars-didnt-like-rubbish-jibes-jose-mourinho-john-terry-explaining-why-special-one-struggled-second-spell-stamford-bridge/blt89632cb1f033ed85" target="_blank">another top-flight crown secured before being relieved of his duties</a> in December 2015.

<p>The 62-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jose-mourinho-stance-fenerbahce-exit-revealed-sporting-director-departure-inter-return-links/bltd631afb8464e0c3c" target="_blank">claims to be fully committed to that role</a>, but former Blues star Geremi - speaking to <em>BoyleSports</em>, who offer the latest <a href="https://www.boylesports.com/sports/football/competition/fifa-club-world-cup " target="_blank">FIFA Club World Cup betting</a> - has said of a potential retracing of steps to a spiritual home: “With Jose Mourinho’s history with Chelsea, the fans would love to have him back for a third spell despite him spending time with Spurs.
</p><p>“He has been through so much with the club and I think he’d love to come back too, he would give his heart to the club because it became his family. It would be great to see Jose return to Chelsea and anything can happen in football, he made those fans proud and one day he might do that again.”</p>

WHAT GEREMI SAID

<p>Geremi is also billing another Chelsea legend, current Coventry coach Lampard, as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ashley-cole-future-england-manager-ex-arsenal-and-chelsea-defender-surprise-candidate-frank-lampard-steven-gerrard/blt28a6fee15c692e56" target="_blank">perfect successor to ex-Blues boss Thomas Tuchel as England manager</a> - with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-tuchel-tear-it-down-winners-losers-england-international-break-million-miles-world-cup-glory/blt3bf1205023aaee7c" target="_blank">Three Lions having made a slow start to life under their German tactician</a>.
</p><p>Geremi added: “Frank Lampard should be in the race to replace Thomas Tuchel, he has shown his style of football and I think it would suit the England team.
 I was his team-mate at Chelsea and I’m proud that we became friends. I’m delighted to see him managing now and he will have an important role in the game for years to come.”</p>
