As you probably know Jose Mourinho is being tipped to return to former club Chelsea this summer. Mourinho is planning an audacious addition to his backroom staff to ensure he lasts even longer in London this time. According to The Mirror, Jose wants former Blackburn boss Steve Kean to join him on the touchline. And no, this is apparently not a joke.
MirrorSport understands Mourinho is interested in bringing in ex-Blackburn boss Kean to boost his coaching set-up.
Mourinho has his own loyal backroom staff but likes to have an assistant manager from the country he is working in.
Kean, 45, is available after quitting relegated Rovers last September saying he was "forced to resign" despite the Championship club being third.
Any time you get a chance to hire one of the most lampooned managers of the last decade, you sort of have to take it. Even for Mourinho this is pretty crazy.
