Mourinho reception at Stamford Bridge shows how far Maresca needs to go with Chelsea

The article discusses the reception received by Jose Mourinho, the former Chelsea manager, during his return to Stamford Bridge as the manager of Benfica. Despite Chelsea, under the management of Maurizio Maresca, beating Benfica in the Champions League, the fan reception showed that Mourinho remains the more revered figure among Chelsea supporters. The article highlights the stark contrast between the warm welcome for Mourinho and the more muted response for Maresca, indicating that the latter has a long way to go to match the level of adoration and respect that the former Chelsea manager enjoys among the club's fans.
