Rafael Benitez may have dropped hints he wants to extend his tenure as Chelsea boss beyond this season but it seems the struggling Blues have already set their sights on his replacement.

England's Daily Mail is reporting the club have contacted former manager Jose Mourinho, with a view to bringing him back to Stamford Bridge in the English off-season.

The newspaper says that talks have only just begun, but billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich would back a swoop for the self-appointed 'Special One'.

Mourinho has endured a testing season at the helm of Real Madrid, whose shock loss to Granada on the weekend saw them fall 15 points behind great rivals Barcelona in La Liga.

Things aren't much better for European champions Chelsea and interim boss Benitez.

A 3-2 loss to Newcastle United on the weekend saw them fall 16 points behind Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United.

Already bundled out of the Champions League, the Blues were last month sent packing from the Capital One Cup by Swansea, and only a late Fernando Torres leveller against Brentford in the FA Cup spared Benitez's side further embarrassment.

Now it appears Abramovich is ready to entice Mourinho - the man he sacked in 2007 - back in a bid to get the most out of his star-studded squad.

Mourinho enjoyed tremendous success in his three years at Chelsea, delivering two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups to Blues fans.

Chelsea's defence – a major weakness this campaign- was rock-solid during his reign and conceded a stingy 15 goals in the 2004-2005 season while they never lost an EPL home match with the Portuguese boss in charge.

If the two-time Champions League winner leaves the Bernabau, Chelsea won't be the only club vying for his highly-prized signature.

Mourinho is reportedly interested in the project at Qatari-backed Paris-Saint Germain while the Portuguese manager has never hid his desire to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
