JOSE MOURINHO has vowed to KILL Chelsea when he returns to management.
Mourinho was sacked by the Blues earlier this season despite leading the club to back-to-back Premier League titles.
The Portuguese coach, who is keen to take charge of an Italian or Spanish team, said: "I hope to play Chelsea next season in the Champions League.
"If I play them in the Champions League, I want to go there and kill them — that's my message."
Mourinho was replaced at Stamford Bridge by Avram Grant, a close friend of Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
But the Special One insists he does not hold a grudge towards Chelsea's former director of football.
He added: "I feel nothing for Grant. I feel everything for the club but not for him personally.
"I still feel Chelsea are a part of me. I'll have Chelsea in my heart forever.
"I left and for five months you couldn't get a bad word from me in relation to the club and you won't get one in the future."
Mourinho's departure was shrouded in mystery, with the build-up dominated by rumours of a bust-up with Abramovich.
But the ex-Porto boss claims he remains on good terms with the Russian billionaire.
He said: "I think it was last week that I spoke with people from the club.
"I was speaking with Mr Abramovich and [chief executive] Peter Kenyon because we still keep in touch.
"I was telling them I wish them well, I wish them always to succeed, I wish them always to win."
I don't wana see the day when he returns to Stamford Bridge, but then again if there is anyone deserving enough of the honour to break the unbeaten record i think i would want it to be him.
