José Mourinho has opened the door for a possible return to former club Chelsea at some point in the future.
Mourinho delivered two Premier League titles, two Carling Cups, the FA Cup and the Community Shield during his stint at West London, but left Stamford Bridge in September 2007 after his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich deteriorated.
However, the Portuguese tactician insists the Blues fans have not seen the last of him.
"If you are asking me if you think one day I will return to Chelsea, I tell you 'yes, I think so', although I'm not saying when," Mourinho told the Italian media.
"We were so happy together. Chelsea fans have a different feeling for me.
"It's a different emotion with them. I always wish them well because they are a special club for me and I have special friends there.
"I belong to their story and they belong to my story.
"I hope they get back to what they were because the club has changed."
Chelsea have not won a single trophy since his departure and both Avram Grant and Luiz Felipe Scolari have been sacked after failing to live up to the standards set by the Special One.
He added: "Why have Chelsea suffered so much since I left? Because I left.
"They know what the good feeling of winning is and when you have this you don't ever want to have the bad taste of losing.
"What's changed is Chelsea won six trophies when I was there and now they've won zero."
