Mourinho agrees with John Terry, who claimed earlier this week that fate would pair the Blues with the Special One now he is back in football at Inter.

'Maybe it is fate,' said Mourinho. 'When I was at Chelsea I played twice against my previous club Porto and I played three times against my previous club Barcelona. Maybe that was on his mind and I will be drawn against my previous team again.'

Hero's welcome: Jose Mourinho says still feels a 'big relationship' with Chelsea.

Mourinho won the Barclays Premier League twice in three years at Stamford Bridge, ending the club's 50-year wait for the title.

He also lifted the Carling Cup twice and the FA Cup before being fired last September following a long power struggle with the board.

He will be assured a hero's welcome if he returns with his new team.

The Portuguese has taken charge of Italian champions Inter Milan this summer with a brief to win the Champions League again.

Mourinho added: 'This is a great experience for me after eight months away from football. It is fantastic to be back. I'm still in love with English football. I still feel a big relationship with Chelsea.'
