Casillas wishes Jose the best

I don't hold any grudge nor do I feel mistreated by him. He took the decisions which he thought were the best for the club and you need to respect that. I've nothing personal against him.

Unfortunately we weren't able to achieve our objectives in the Copa del Rey and Champions League in the end, but there's no point going on about that.

Mourinho has embarked on a new journey and I wish him the best.

– Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas

Gourlay: Mou is the special one

I am delighted to welcome Jose back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate.

It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future and Jose is our number one choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that.

He was and remains a hugely-popular figure at the club and everyone here looks forward to working with him again.
