Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has made an unprecedented move to establish the Blues as Europes top football club by rehiring Rafael Benitez to work alongside Jose Mourinho next season in what Stamford Bridge insiders are calling a managerial dream team. The Russian tycoon has persuaded his Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho to bury the hatchet with Benitez and form world footballs most dynamic coaching duo. A Chelsea source said: Roman is always searching for the perfect coach until he realised one day - two coaches are better the one. He wanted to pair the clubs most successful ever manager with the man who masterminded the winning of the Europa League. What could possibly go wrong? Benitez and Mourinho, who traded verbal blows while the former was in charge of Liverpool, have held secret talks over the last two months and finally agreed to a power share which will see them both named Joint Manager of Chelsea FC. World of sport - in pictures Under the terms of the agreement made by the pair, the tactically-astute Spaniard will take care of coaching the team, while the more charismatic Mourinho will be in charge of communication - with players and the media. Benitezs current club, Napoli agreed to release their manager after the Blues offered the Serie A side Eden Hazard and agreed to sell Fernando Torres to their rivals Inter Milan. Happy April Fools Day
