Sam Allardyce would be "glad" to see Jose Mourinho return

By , Staff Reporter
West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says that he will be "glad" to see Jose Mourinho back in the Premier League with Chelsea.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has insisted that he will be "glad" to see Jose Mourinho return to Chelsea this summer.

The Portuguese coach has been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, and the speculation has strengthened following Real Madrid's announcement that Mourinho will leave the club when the season ends.

"He had a very good spell last time, I know it didn't finish so well in the end with [owner] Roman Abramovich but obviously they've repaired that damage and he'll come back to ply his talents in the Premier League and it sounds like he's looking forward to coming back to England," BBC Sport quotes Allardyce as saying. "So we'll be glad to see him and obviously pit our wits against him again."

Mourinho spent three years with the Blues before leaving for Inter Milan in 2008.
