ALBAWABA - Roma boss Jose Mourinho has fueled speculation regarding his future by implying that a return to Chelsea is a possibility.

The Portuguese coach has been linked with a potential move to replace Graham Potter along with other candidates such as Zinedine Zidane and Julian Nagelsmann.

Chelsea has named Bruno Saltor as caretaker manager after Potter's sacking.

When asked if he would honor the final year of his deal at Roma, Mourinho replied as quoted by Goal: "I don’t speak about my future with my friends or journalists.

"Our CEO Berardi said a few months ago that I would have stayed, but it’s his interpretation of things and the same applies to [journalist Ivan] Zazzaroni. From a contract perspective, I have another year left, but contracts sometimes are not the most important thing."
