The possibility that Chelsea, currently third in the Premier League under the interim stewardship of Rafael Benítez, may not qualify for next year's Champions League had been mooted as a potential obstacle to the 50-year-old's return. While that would have serious implications for the club's attempts to balance the books ahead of the implementation of Uefa's financial fair play rules, sources close to the negotiations have suggested Mourinho would actually not be dissuaded from coming should the side finish outside the top four and be condemned to Europa League football. Indeed, he could consider it an even greater challenge.
