JOSE MOURINHO had fans in stitches after a trio of Chelsea legends enjoyed a reunion.
Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and John Obi Mikel are all fondly remembered by the Stamford Bridge faithful after their stints playing in West London.
All three played under Mourinho for the Blues and were then part of the 2012 Champions League-winning Chelsea squad led by Roberto Di Matteo.
Ivorian striker Drogba, 45, retired from football in 2018 while Nigerian midfielder Obi Mikel, 36, hung up his boots in 2021.
But Ivory Coast winger Kalou is still going strong at the age of 38 and currently plays for Arta Solar 7 in Djibouti.
However, he did enjoy some time off to catch up with his fellow Chelsea and African icons this week.

The threesome were pictured by a pool together dressed up and seemingly about to enjoy a bite to eat, with Obi Mikel sharing the snap on Instagram.
He tagged both Drogba and Kalou and captioned the photos with: “Still no statues but watch out!”
Blues fans loved what they were seeing as they jumped into the comments, with one declaring it a “table of winners”.
Another hailed them as the “three legends” as a fellow fan called the trio “Blue family” while someone else wrote: “I miss these guys.”

However, it did not take long for Mourinho, who won the Premier League three times during his two spells in charge at Chelsea, to cheekily get involved.
The 60-year-old Portuguese, who is now at Roma, said along with a love heart emoji: “Daddy is missing!!!! You rich guys can enjoy holiday time.”
Fans spotted his remark and instantly replied with plenty of affection.
“Still the Special One,” read one response amongst the dozens of laughing face emojis.
Even David Luiz, who also enjoyed two stints at Chelsea, replied with a crying with laughter face emoji.
Another supporter stated that Mourinho must be a “proud dad” as another comment said: “The special one. The greatest coach of all time.”
