Eden Hazard clarifies relationship with Jose Mourinho following awkward snub at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has discussed his relationship with Jose Mourinho after the pair appeared to blank each other at Stamford Bridge.

Hazard, 26, won the Premier League title under Mourinho in 2014/15, but had a disastrous campaign at Stamford Bridge the following term, and the Portuguese manager lost his job midway through the season.

There were reports of tension between the duo towards the end of Mourinho’s tenure and they seemed to ignore each other in the lead-up to Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

However, the Belgian forward insists he would have no problem working under the Special One again the future.

‘Zidane would be a dream to have as a coach, he was my idol when I was little,’ Hazard told Belgian outlet La Derniere Heure.

‘I have a lot of respect for him.

‘And playing under Jose Mourinho would not bother me.’

Hazard revealed his greatest memory is of Lille’s title-winning campaign back in 2010/11.

He said: ‘The double achieved with Lille in 2011 is a very strong moment because nobody was waiting for us.

‘It was really not expected.’
