Former Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho insists that Jose Mourinho can lead Chelsea to the Premier League title in his first season back at the club.

Ricardo Carvalho believes that Chelsea are capable of winning the Premier League title in Jose Mourinho's first season back in charge of the club.

The Portuguese coach is expected to be confirmed as the new manager at Stamford Bridge following his departure from Real Madrid.

Carvalho insists that the Blues will be a force next season and fully expects them to challenge for the Premier League title.

"I'm sure in two, three years they can but even in his (Mourinho's) first year he can win it again," Carvalho told reporters.

"When we arrived together in 2004, Chelsea had not won the league for 50 years so I hope now they can win it again.

"Jose is a special coach and I think he deserves all the best because he works very hard."

Carvalho has agreed a deal to join newly-promoted Ligue 1 outfit Monaco this summer.
