LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea's rejoicing fans could be forgiven for breaking into a chorus of 'He's com-ing home, he's com-ing home, he's com-ing, Jose's com-ing home' after Jose Mourinho's return to the club was rubber stamped.

The cat was finally let out of the bag on soccer's worst-kept secret when the 2012 European champions ended months of media speculation to announce on Monday that their former coach was coming back for a second stint in charge.
