Nice touch

Jose Mourinho may have left Chelsea in December, but to suggest he’s not on the best of terms with his former club might be wide of the mark.

According to The Telegraph, Mourinho has received a letter from Stamford Bridge thanking him for his achievements in his second spell with the club, along with replica versions of the Premier League and Capital One Cup trophies he won last season.GettyImages-500680786The trophies and letter were reportedly sent to Mourinho’s home in west London recently, with club chairman Bruce Buck stating in the letter that he would always be welcome at Stamford Bridge in the future (probably no for a third stint as manager though).

A lovely gesture from his former employers… or perhaps it’s a way of guilt-tripping Mourinho into not becoming the manager of Manchester United in the near future? Maybe not.
