Could there have been some truth in the contreversial Abramovich leaving rumour that I found? Well, this article about Vialli certainly backs it up... Vialli today commented on a return to Chelsea.

"I love the club as much as ever and I have a fantastic relationship with the fans there and returning is my destiny. I dream about it but I am a believer and I believe it will happen one day."

He added: "I would very much love to manage a club in England because that is where I belong and that is where my football mentality is most at home.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how much credibility I have because of what happened at Watford and I suspect that my next job will probably be in Italy. It will have to be the right one."

This means that the rumour we 'found' could be true.
