Mourinho reappointed – 2013
A 10-year term as owner of Chelsea for Abramovich saw the Russian revert to the tried and tested formula by reappointing club favourite Mourinho as manager.
The Portuguese had spent six years away from the Bridge at Inter and Madrid, but returned after Di Matteo became the seventh boss to be sacked at the hands of Abramovich and interim manager Rafael Benitez finished his term – delivering the Europa League in the process.
Abramovich could be at the club for another decade but how long Mourinho is there second time round will be determined – as always – by how full the trophy cabinet is.
