Latest news emerging from the blue half of London suggests that Mourinho is eyeing midfield reinforcements in the summer as he is already started preparations for next season. He is mulling over the idea of pitching for the services of Zanetti.

Zanetti and Mourinho have a history together during the Portugese’s highly successful time at San Siro, before he headed out to Real Madrid. The two are understood to still share a strong relationship, along with having massive amount of respect for each other. Mourinho wants to reunite with the 40-year old. He wishes to offer him a 1-year old playing contract which will also have involvement alongside in a coaching capacity, as he wants to gradually ease Zanetti into Chelsea’s coaching team in the future, as reported by Inside Futbol.

The Chelsea boss is hoping that he can lure Zanetti into one last hurrah before he draws the curtains on a highly illustrious career. It will be really tough for him to convince Zanetti to part with Inter Milan, the team he has been at since 1995 and could very well end his career there. Do you feel that the opportunity of being involved in Mourinho’s coaching staff in the future could tempt the veteran midfielder?
