Since then, Mourinho has returned to Chelsea for a second stint and his club currently sits top of the Premier League.

PSG have appointed Laurent Blanc who helped them win the Ligue 1 title last season. But Mourinho has now revealed that he may have been the club's first choice instead.

"I was the first choice of Leonardo. I said no to PSG twice," Mourinho quipped.

"Paris can win the Champions League, it would be fantastic to have a Chelsea-PSG in the final. Paris is in good hands, Laurent Blanc is a good manager."
