Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez thinks Jose Mourinho will be back at Stamford Bridge
INTERIM manager Rafa Benitez has hinted at Jose Mourinho's return to Chelsea next season.
The Spaniard confirmed at a news conference that he will leave in the summer after his short-term contract expires.
Benitez, who emphasised the importance of tomorrow night's crunch clash with Spurs, believes Mourinho's seemingly inevitable return is common knowledge.
He said: "The next year there will be another manager.
"I think everybody knows who will be here."
It is thought that Mourinho, who was spotted over the weekend shopping in Ikea in Madrid, will return to the Kings Road on July 1.
