Porto coach Jose Mourinho is the only candidate to take over at English Premier League Chelsea, the club’s billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich said on Tuesday. ‘‘He is the only one left,’’ Abramovich told reporters in Moscow a day after sacking Claudio Ranieri. ‘‘I hope the talks have entered their final stage,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, Valencia’s leading shareholder Francisco Roig said he had spoken to Claudio Ranieri who ‘‘showed a strong desire to return to Valencia as soon as he has resolved his contractual situation with Chelsea’’.
Ranieri coached Valencia for two seasons and steered them to victory in the King’s Cup in 1999. (Reuters)
