Jose Mourinho has admitted he could have left Roma in December but decided to stay at the Serie A club - as speculation over a possible return to the Premier League with Chelsea continues.
The Portuguese was linked with a remarkable move back to the Blues last month as he grew disappointed at how much money he has at his disposal at Roma. The Italian club spent just shy of £7million last summer, having brought in five players on free transfers, including Paulo Dybala, Georginio Wijnaldum and Nemanja Matic.
It was reported that Mourinho was also keen on moving back to London, where he has lived for the majority of the last two decades since his first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge. And the 60-year-old was contemplating his decision while Roma and record signing Tammy Abraham were enduring a rocky patch of form.
