Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has admitted that he would welcome Jose Mourinho back with open arms.
The Real Madrid boss has been heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge over the past few months.
And the England international has revealed that the tactician's re-hiring would be 'a great thing'.
“I think he is a fantastic manager,” Lampard told the BBC. “I think it would be a great thing for the club [if he returned].
“ I've seen speculation before and a completely different manager walks through the door so we never know on that front but he is certainly one of the greatest managers, if not the greatest, in world football, so I'm sure the club and the fans will be happy to have him.
Earlier this month the Blancos boss fuelled rumours by saying he is “loved” in England.
