Chelsea are a long way from the ruthless machine that saw them crowned league champions three times in six seasons between 2005 and 2010. Since then, plenty has changed.
One man helped to transform the club's fortunes and it wasn't solely Roman Abramovich's bankrolled transfer operation that is being similarly mirrored by Todd Boehly and Co. so far. The man to bring the pure arrogance and defining quality of Chelsea in this period was Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese manager is currently in Italy managing Roma. He has found success there once more but in a role far removed from the intense pressures and scrutiny of English football. Times have changed and Mourinho is a different man but his time at Stamford Bridge may not be done yet.
