Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is ready to make an approach for Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, and will put past altercations behind him to bring the Portuguese manager back to Stamford Bridge, according to The Daily Mail.
The ‘Special One’was sacked by the Russian back in 2007, but since then has gone on to massively successful periods with Inter and Real Madrid.
After Mourinho guided the Santiago Bernabeu club to the La Liga title last weekend, Abramovich is set to make the tactician his number one choice for the role of permanent manager.
Despite Roberto Di Matteo’s heroics in getting the club through to the FA Cup and Champions League finals, it is believed that the Chelsea owner wants a more established coach in the hotseat before next season.
Meanwhile, defender Branislav Ivanovic is targeting victory at Wembley on Saturday, which he feels will give the side momentum going into the Champions League final.
“It’s strange to play in the FA Cup final when it’s not the last game of the season but this is better for us because, if we win, it will give us extra confidence for Munich,” the Serb admitted.
“It will be a fight for the trophy against Liverpool but, when there is something to fight for, this group of players are going to fight until the end.”
