Mourinho is being supported to rescue Chelsea.

Legendary player Joe Cole believes Chelsea needs to give Jose Mourinho full authority to save the team from its prolonged crisis.

Mourinho's future has become a hot topic after the 2025/26 season.

While Chelsea continues to be mired in instability both on and off the pitch, Joe Cole has surprisingly called on the club's leadership to bring Jose Mourinho back to Stamford Bridge. The former England midfielder believes Mourinho is a more suitable choice than other candidates being mentioned such as Xabi Alonso, Andoni Iraola, or Marco Silva.

"Everyone thinks Mourinho is past his prime, but there's a reason Real Madrid are still interested in him," Joe Cole told The Sun.

According to the former Chelsea legend, the current team is severely lacking in experienced leaders, something that defined the club's identity during its successful period with names like John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Didier Drogba.

Joe Cole believes Chelsea has too many talented young players but lacks the right environment to develop them. He likened the current situation to "putting brilliant scientists in a school without good teachers."

Not stopping there, the former England international also suggested Chelsea should sign a number of experienced players such as John Stones, Robert Lewandowski, and Jordan Henderson during the summer transfer window.

According to Joe Cole, Chelsea needs players with the quality and character to re-establish the standards in the dressing room, instead of continuing to rely entirely on young talents.

Mourinho is one of the greatest managers in Chelsea's history. He led the London club in two stints (2004-2007 and 2013-2015), winning a total of 3 Premier League titles, 1 FA Cup, and 3 League Cups.

Mourinho also laid the foundation for Chelsea's spectacular success under former chairman Roman Abramovich, transforming the club into a true force in English and European football with his distinctive, pragmatic, and confident style.
