Football director Michael Emenalo may have to leave Chelsea for Jose Mourinho to make a sensational return from Real Madrid .
The Daily Star says it is understood the Portuguese coach has made it clear he does not want to work with Emenalo, 47, who has risen toprominence at Stamford Bridgein the six years since arriving as chief scout.
The Nigerian is seen as the eyes and ears of owner Roman Abramovich and Mourinho, 50, wants to be given freedom to run the teamhis way, without interference.
Despite Emenalo’s status at Chelsea , it is believed his power has now waned as he played a key role in persuading Russian tycoon Abramovich to go for Benitez as interim boss.
Abramovich has not been impressed by Benitez, with the club in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification.
Should Emenalo step aside? Why can't Mourinho work with the Nigerian? Give us your shout below..

If true, Emenale made a mistake with that Benitez. Chelsea may not qualify for the Champions League, but I feel they ll win the Europa League.

Emenalo should leave that soap box and go coach a team and make a proper name for himself.

u mean make him go coach eyimba fc

I concur with that!!! Mou is Correct! Emenalo should Leave stamford Bridge....! I really Hate that Man!

Since the arrival of Emenalo, Chelsea has won the holy grail and lots of trophies. Emenalo has done nothing wrong at Chelsea. His arrival at Chelsea has also helped to recruit two Nigerian internationals eg Moses and Omeruo. It's a pity Nigerians do not want fellow Nigerians to do well. Bad belle .

Shut up! Your red cap brother is incompetent, all ethnic sentiments aside. No one but DiMatteo won the Champions League, whilst a jealous Emenalo conspired against him.

All I want for Chelsea is stable management........ We have won all the trophies! It is high time the fans and management work on this problem and engage in building youth policy for the future.....
