UK Back Pages: Eden Hazard Apologises to Jose Mourinho for Poor Chelsea Form

As news trickles out that Jose Mourinho is nearing a return to the managerial ranks, per Dan Roan and Simon Stone of BBC Sport, one of his former pupils has reached out to make things right with the former Chelsea boss.

In the Times, last season's Player of the Year, Eden Hazard, reached out to apologise to the Portuguese boss for his poor form, which may have contributed to Mourinho's Stamford Bridge downfall.

Meanwhile, in the Sun, there's a few brewing rows between veteran players and their bosses. Louis van Gaal has rejected notions from Wayne Rooney that they have more freedom to play now, and John Terry and Chelsea's board are also feuding.
