Sure, Roman Abramovic has hired some great and successful managers since first firing Mourinho 10 years ago; Carlo Ancelotti, Guus Hiddink, Roberto Di Matteo, Rafa Benitez and then Mourinho again.

But none in that time have enjoyed the special relationship that the Italian currently holds with the club's diehard supporters.
