Jose Mourinho and Didier Drogba were an integral part of the Chelsea team that reigned supreme in the Premier League during the former's maiden Stamford Bridge reign.
Mourinho spent 17 months at the helm of Chelsea's London rivals with the remit of turning the team into genuine title contenders and ending the club's long wait for silverware. But after overseeing matches behind closed doors through the Covid-19 pandemic, Mourinho was sacked by Daniel Levy following a chastening run.
That hasn't quelled speculation, though, with his name cropping up earlier this year when Chelsea were on the lookout for a new head coach. It certainly seems far more likely that there could be further chapters in the story between Mourinho and Chelsea rather than Tottenham, who have turned away from hiring elite coaches after being burned by Mourinho and then Antonio Conte.
