Branislav Ivanovic has revealed the players would like to see Jose Mourinho back at Chelsea and believes the former manager's return would make the club stronger.
"I know in England I am loved," he said. "I am loved by the fans, I am loved by the media, they treat me in a fair way, criticising me and giving me credit when I deserve it. "I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one. "In Spain the situation is a bit different because some people hate me. "I didn't make a decision because I have a contract, but more than the contract, the respect I have for the club and the president. "I want to finish the season, I want to try to win the (Copa del Rey) final, I want to try to finish second (in La Liga) and at the end of the season I will sit with Florentino Perez, my president, my friend, and decide the best for me. "It is difficult to make a decision because I like the club, I like the president, we made a fantastic team that is ready to make big things, so it is hard. "I need to be honest and fair. At the end of the season I will speak."
