Bruce Buck: We're 'open minded' about appointment of next Chelsea manager
CHELSEA chairman Bruce Buck insists the club are 'open minded' about the appointment of the next manager.
Interim boss Rafa Benitez's contract runs out in May and the Blues are yet to interview prospective candidates.
Owner Roman Abramovich is looking to hire his 10th manager since buying the club in 2003.
Jose Mourinho has been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, where he guided the club to back-to-back Premier League titles.
Although Mourinho left on sour terms, Buck hasn't ruled out Mourinho be given another chance in the Chelsea hot seat.
Buck said: "I am completely open minded about it.
"We really haven't started that (the hunt for a new boss) yet but we're all thinking about it and have some ideas, and certainly Mr Abramovich is thinking about it.
"At the moment, we're concentrating on the end of the season."
Chelsea occupy third spot in the Premier League and are fighting for silverware on two fronts- the Europa League and FA Cup.
