Eden Hazard says that he will be intimidated by Jose Mourinho when they first meet at a Chelsea training session.

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard has revealed that he is intimidated by new manager Jose Mourinho due to his huge reputation.

The Portuguese returned to Stamford Bridge as the Blues boss on Monday after leaving Real Madrid following months of speculation surrounding his future.

The 22-year-old says that many of his teammates excitedly talked up Mourinho's potential return to the club prior to his appointment, but Hazard admits that he is nervous about encountering the 'Special One' for the first time.

"Jose Mourinho is someone special and it's a pleasure to have him as a coach," Hazard told The Guardian.

"They already knew for a long time at Chelsea that he was going to sign and the players all told me that it would be a good thing for me.

"Maybe in the first training session I will be a bit intimidated. After all, it's Jose Mourinho. But he is also a man, with two arms and two legs and so, in the end, I will have a normal relationship with him, just as I have with my previous coaches."

Hazard joined Chelsea last summer.
