Chelsea star Eden Hazard has revealed that he wants to work with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho again in the future.
The Belgian played under the Portuguese tactician for two years at Chelsea, between 2013 and 2015, before Mourinho was sacked by the club.
Hazard regrets the way things ended with his former boss and would love to have another opportunity.
"The last season under Mourinho was not pleasant anymore. We didn’t win, we got into a sort of routine, training-training without having fun, it was better for all parties that the collaboration came to an end," he told Belgian newspaper HLN, as quoted by Goal.
"If I’m now asked one coach with whom I want to work again, then I say: Mourinho."
The winger admitted that it's not easy playing under someone as demanding as the former Blues' manager, but claimed it to be a part of his charm.
"If the results are poor, he starts criticising his players – you know that, but afterwards I’ve been able to accept that, it’s part of his character," he added.
"If you win, Mourinho is the best coach you can imagine. Then he is a friend of yours – you can do whatever you want. Want one day off? He gives you two. If everything goes well, Mourinho will experience football like me: with ease."
"Even his own image of an extremely defensive coach was not too bad. He is far from adventurous like [Pep] Guardiola, but the year in which we became champions, we scored a lot of goals and played good games."
"I do not regret many things in my career, but that I have not been able to work with Mourinho at Chelsea anymore [is one]. We had a team to get a lot of prizes, but we just ended up in a negative spiral," Eden Hazard concluded.
