William Gallas, a former French defender, has called for Chelsea to re-hire Jose Mourinho as manager in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The future of Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge is a topic of increasing discussion.
After being fired by Roma in January, Mourinho found himself unemployed.
But rumours have circulated that the 61-year-old could return to Chelsea for a third spell.
It would be thrilling and beneficial for the Premier League if Mourinho returned, according to Gallas, who won two league titles with Chelsea under his tutelage.
Something would happen if Mourinho faced off against Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, and I think everyone would be enthusiastic about it. “Fireworks” would be the result.
“That is a good question,” Gallas said in response to a query about whether he thought Mourinho had any chances. In my opinion, returning to Chelsea would be the ideal move for him.
“For Mourinho, that would be the optimal choice.”
