The demand for Chelsea tickets has reportedly increased following the arrival of new manager Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese coach, who took charge of the Blues for three years before leaving in 2007, was confirmed as the Chelsea boss earlier this week following his Real Madrid departure.

Since his return, it is believed that ticket requests have risen by 300%, with a spokesman for website viagogo telling the Daily Star: "The demand we've seen confirms just how popular an appointment Jose is."

Meanwhile, Mourinho has reportedly outlined Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko as his number one transfer target.
