Mohamed Salah was a casualty of Jose Mourinho\u2019s desire to win in his second spell at Chelsea, although the winger admitted he still has a great relationship with his former manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salah joined Chelsea in 2014, but played just 13 Premier League games before being sold to Roma after a couple of successful loan spells in Italy.<\/p>\n

\n

He featured for the club at the same time that Kevin de Bruyne was a Chelsea player too, however Blues fans never saw the best of him until he returned to Stamford Bridge as a Manchester City star.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah has great relationship with Jose Mourinho despite failed Chelsea stint<\/h2>\n

Salah has also tormented his former club since leaving, and many have been left questioning why things didn\u2019t work out with Jose Mourinho in charge in West London.<\/p>\n

Despite this underwhelming time in his career, the Egyptian has insisted he has a great relationship with his former manager, telling StanSport that Mourinho actually wanted him to stay in England when he first went on loan to Fiorentina.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI remember I had a conversation with Jose and he\u2019s a lovely guy. I love him. One of the best coaches I had in my life and our relationship is good now. So I don\u2019t want people to think that I\u2019m hating him or something.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I love him. And he told me like I want you to stay or just go somewhere just on loan then come back but in the UK because I want you. I said no I want to I see myself away now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s too much pressure on me. I want to go to Italy. I want to play there and I don\u2019t want to go on loan and come back to a club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salah was on the end of public criticism from his manager in 2014 after an underwhelming display in the League Cup against Shrewsbury Town.<\/p>\n

Salah was linked with Stamford Bridge return<\/h2>\n

With Salah\u2019s contract situation at Anfield being a topic of discussion over the past few seasons, Chelsea have reportedly been monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n

There was a claim that Salah felt he had unfinished business at Stamford Bridge after his original spell with the club didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Egyptian had too much respect for the club who had helped him become a Premier League legend to genuinely consider a switch back to West London.<\/p>\n

He goes down though as one of the great missed opportunities in Chelsea\u2019s recent history, and alongside De Bruyne the biggest \u2018what if he\u2019d stayed\u2019 scenario.<\/p>\n
