Jose Mourinho has admitted he had a preference as to who he wanted to take over Chelsea, but declined to disclose it.
The Portuguese manager won three Premier League titles, three League Cups and an FA Cup across two stints at Stamford Bridge, prior to his Europa League and League Cup successes at Manchester United. The Blues are set to officially finalise their ownership transition from the sanctioned Roman Abramovich in the coming weeks.
Chelsea announced on Saturday that they would be run by a consortium led by LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly and backed by a private equity firm from California. The papers have not yet been officially signed by the UK government or the Premier League.
