Jose Mourinho 'Blows Kisses to Chelsea Fans' During Stamford Bridge Homecoming

On Tuesday, José Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge, greeted with chants and applause during a Champions League match as Benfica faced Chelsea.
The manager's trophies include three Premier League titles with Chelsea across two spells and Champions League wins with Porto and Inter Milan.
During the match Mourinho, wearing a white shirt under a dark coat, responded to chants by waving and blowing a kiss to Chelsea fans, and jogged onto the pitch to remove a stray ball.
Benfica left Stamford Bridge having lost by 1 goal at Chelsea, and José Mourinho hugged Enzo Maresca before leaving the tunnel visibly disappointed.
Mourinho recently took charge of Benfica after leaving Fenerbahce and coached his first Champions League game in five years, saying Monday he will `always be a Blue`.
