Month by month review
June
On 3 June, Chelsea announced that former manager José Mourinho had been appointed as the new manager for the 2013–14 season. He signed a four year contract with the Blues, up to the end of the 2016–17 season. He was re-united with former squad members John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, John Obi Mikel, Petr Čech, Henrique Hilario and Michael Essien whom he brought back from his loan spell at Real Madrid. Mourinho also brought three coaching staff members with him to Stamford Bridge in Rui Faria, Silvino Louro, both of whom had worked at Chelsea under Mourinho's previous tenure, and Jose Morais. Mourinho was officially announced to the media on 10 June and took charge of the team on 1 July for the pre-season.[1] One of Mourinho's first games was against Barcelona rival Pep Guardiola as he managed 2012–13 UEFA Champions League winners Bayern Munich in the 2013 UEFA Super Cup at the Eden Arena in Prague.[2] In Mourinho's first official interview back he referred to himself as the 'Happy One' in regards to his appointment as the new Chelsea manager, having called himself 'The Special One' during his first tenure.[3]
On 13 June Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen reached an agreement for the transfer of André Schürrle, subject to the completion of legal documentation and related matters, including personal terms and passing a medical.[4]
Following the release of the 2013–14 Premier League fixtures, Mourinho's first match in charge since his return was at home against Hull City. Chelsea then faced a trip to Old Trafford for David Moyes' first home game as Manchester United manager. The Blues will finish their campaign away to Cardiff City. During his first spell in charge at Chelsea, Mourinho was unbeaten in 60 league home games.[5][6]
On 21 June, the club announced a contract extension with Adidas that will see them supply the club kits until 2023.[7][8] This deal means that Chelsea, along with Arsenal, hold the record for the biggest shirt deal in the history of the Barclays Premier League, valued at £300 million.
Chelsea completed the signing of André Schürrle for a fee of £18m. Schürrle became Mourinho's first signing since returning to the club, signing a five-year deal. He is the first player to wear the number 14 shirt since Claudio Pizarro in 2007–08.[4][9]
Marko Marin left Chelsea to go on loan at Sevilla for the duration of the season[10] while Todd Kane and George Saville also went on season long and half-season loans to Blackburn[11] and Brentford, respectively. Whislt Thibaut Courtois will remain on loan at Atletico Madrid for at least another season.[12]
A number of players were released by the club; Yossi Benayoun, Florent Malouda, who joined Trabzonspor in Turkey, Ross Turnbull, who signed for Doncaster, and several youth prospects that failed to live up expectation. Paulo Ferreira retired from football after several years at the club and Jeffrey Bruma was sold to PSV Eindhoven for £2.5 million.
July
Chelsea signed midfielder Marco van Ginkel from Dutch club Vitesse for an undisclosed fee, but a reported £8 million deal. The 20 year old signed on a five-year deal and was Chelsea's second signing of the summer. Van Ginkel won the 2012 Dutch Football Talent of the Year.[13]
Chelsea also announced the signing of former Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, on a free transfer. After having two bids rejected for Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy, Mourinho decided to sign Mark Schwarzer as back up for Petr Čech.[14][15] Oriol Romeu left Chelsea to go on loan at Valencia CF for the whole season and West Brom youngster Isaiah Brown was signed for around a quarter of a million pounds. Jose Mourinho won his first game back as Chelsea boss, overseeing a 1-0 friendly victory over the Singha All-Stars on 17 July in Chelsea's first leg of their Asian tour in Bangkok. A few days later, on 21 July, Chelsea won the second leg of their Asian tour, with a 4-1 victory over a Malaysian XI in Shah Alam. On 24 July, Chelsea announced the signing of Cristian Cuevas from O'Higgins.[16] Chelsea rounded off their Asian tour with an 8-1 demolition of the BNI Indonesia All-Stars in Jakarta on 25 July.
A number of young players were sent on loan to gain first-team experience; Patrick van Aanholt and Gael Kakuta were both sent on loan to Vitesse for another season, Matej Delac was sent on a season loan with FK Vojvodina in Serbia, whilst Sam Walker and Daniel Pappoe were both loaned to Colchester for the first half of the season and Patrick Bamford, Billy Clifford and Milan Lalkovic were sent on half-season loans to MK Dons, Yeovil and Walsall respectively, whilst Eden Hazard's younger brother Thorgan Hazard also saw his loan with Zulte-Waregem in Belgium renewed.
August
On 1 August, Chelsea announced that senior reserve goalkeeper Henrique Hilário had signed a new 1 year deal after his contract had expired in June. Another youngster was signed, teenage Croatian striker Stipe Perica.[17] 18 year old defender Nathan Aké signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, he made six appearances for the Blues last season.
Chelsea recorded a comfortable 2-0 victory over Inter Milan in Round 1 of prestige exhibition tournament the International Champions Cup on 1 August in Indianapolis. Chelsea registered another win in their Round 2 fixture 3 days later on 4 August, once again a comfortable 2-0 victory, this time over Inter Milan's cross-town rivals AC Milan in New York City. On 7 August, Chelsea lost their 100% pre-season record as they were defeated in the International Champions Cup final by Real Madrid, losing 3-1 in Miami.[18] Chelsea won their final game of pre-season, a 2-1 victory over AS Roma in Washington D.C. on 10 August. This marked the end of a largely successful pre-season for Chelsea, registering wins over Italian top flight opposition in Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma whilst comfortably defeating 3 Asian sides.
Yet again, more youngsters were sent on loan and in keeping with Chelsea's special relationship with Vitesse, newly signed Chilean youngster Cristian Cuevas and Lucas Piazon were sent on loan to the Dutch side [19] whilst Jhon Pirez will spend another season out on loan at Third Division Spanish outfit CD Leganes, furthermore promising young full-back Wallace was sent on loan to Inter Milan and newly signed striker Stipe Perica was sent to NAC Breda.
On 18 August, Jose Mourinho won his "second" first competitive game in charge of Chelsea with a 2-0 victory over Hull City. Despite Frank Lampard's early penalty miss, Oscar gave Chelsea the lead, poking the ball under the onrushing Allan McGregor after a sumptuous passing move. A superb 35 yard free kick from Frank Lampard sealed the win before the half-hour. The victory meant that Jose Mourinho's Chelsea were unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in 61 league games.[20] Chelsea continued their strong home form under Mourinho with a narrow 2-1 win over Aston Villa on 21 August. An own goal by Antonio Luna opened the scoring after Brad Guzan's save from an Eden Hazard shot rebounded off of him and into the net, Villa then equalised through a quickfire shot from Christian Benteke inside Petr Cech's near post and after 73 minutes Branislav Ivanovic connected with Frank Lampard's free kick to head home the winner.[21] On 25 August it was confirmed that Chelsea had signed Willian for £30 million from Anzhi Makhachkala, it was reported that Roman Abramovich used his Russian connections and called the Anzhi owner to convince him to join even though he had already completed a medical for Tottenham.
In their final game before their UEFA Super Cup clash with Bayern Munich, Chelsea were held by Manchester United to a dour 0-0 draw at Old Trafford on 26 August. Just before Chelsea were drawn in the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League group stage they announced the signing of Samuel Eto'o from Anzhi Makhachkala on a free transfer.[22] Chelsea were drawn in Group E where they will face Schalke 04, Basel and Steaua București. Last season, Chelsea defeated Steaua București and Basel on their way to the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League title.
On 30 August Chelsea were beaten in the UEFA Super Cup by Bayern Munich on penalties in Prague. The match was a tense encounter, dominated by Bayern but Chelsea were dangerous on the break, they opened the scoring through a fantastic strike from Fernando Torres, who was set up by Andre Schurrle who had received the ball from Eden Hazard following a mazy run. Bayern equalised through a sweetly struck shot by Franck Ribery inside Petr Cech's near post. With 5 minutes left Ramires was sent off for a second bookable offence leaving Chelsea to face extra-time with 10 men.[23] Early in the first half of extra-time Hazard put Chelsea ahead after beating two Bayern defenders and wrong-footing Manuel Neuer. Chelsea managed to hold on until the final 5 seconds after spending much of extra-time camped in their own 18-yard box, but Javi Martinez broke their hearts putting the ball past Cech after a deflection carried it into his path. During the penalty shoot-out, all the players on both sides scored their penalties up until Chelsea's final penalty taker Romelu Lukaku, hit a tame penalty that was saved by Neuer, thus sealing the win for Bayern.[24]

September
Chelsea announced they signed Porto winger Christian Atsu for a reported £3.5 million, the 21 year old was sent to Chelsea's partner club Vitesse (who also received Sam Hutchinson for the season), who have been sent many young Chelsea players for development in recent years, on a season long loan.[25] On the final day of the transfer window, Victor Moses and Romelu Lukaku joined Merseyside clubs Liverpool and Everton respectively on season long loans whilst Ulises Davila was sent to Cordoba CF. Later in the month, young English players Nathaniel Chalobah and Josh McEachran were sent on loan to Nottingham Forest and Watford respectively until the turn of the year.[26][27]
On 14 September, Mourinho suffered the first defeat of his "second coming" as Chelsea were defeated 1-0 by Everton after an impressive defensive display by the Merseyside club at Goodison Park. 4 days later, Chelsea suffered a shock defeat to Basel in their opening group game in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea opened the scoring just before the interval through a tidy finish by Oscar from 8 yards out, however two quickfire goals for Basel in the last 15 minutes from Mohamed Salah and Marco Streller condemned Chelsea to their first ever loss in an opening group game of the Champions League.[28]
Chelsea won their following fixture in the Premier League on 21 September after a four game winless streak and two game losing streak in all competitions against Fulham. The two-nil victory was secured by two close-range finishes by Oscar and John Obi Mikel respectively, the latter being a staggering surprise as Mikel had not scored for Chelsea since 2007 and became the source of many jokes between Chelsea fans.
After two well-worked goals from Fernando Torres and Ramires, Chelsea comfortably defeated Swindon in their League Cup third round tie on 24 September [29] to set up a trip to the Emirates to face local rivals Arsenal.[30] 4 days later, Chelsea faced another local rival in Tottenham, the game ended all square with Tottenham going in front through a Gylfi Sigurðsson goal in the 19th minute, and the Chelsea equaliser coming from a Juan Mata set piece which was headed in by Chelsea captain John Terry in the 65th. A controversial moment in this game involving Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Torres resulted in the latter being sent off for a second bookable offence for a perceived elbow into Vertonghen's face, replays suggest there was little, if any contact.

October
On 1 October, Chelsea convincingly defeated Steaua București in Romania by 4 goals to nil in their second Champions League group game. The rout was started with a tap-in from Ramires, followed by a saved Samuel Eto'o shot rebounding off a defender's shin for a second. In the second half, Ramires completed a brace with a strong shot into the near post after impressive wing-play by Andre Schurrle and Frank Lampard finished Steaua off with a trade-mark goal, a low shot from 18 yards skimming in off the base of the far post. Chelsea won their third game in a row by defeating Norwich 3-1 at Carrow Road on 6 October. Chelsea went ahead in the 4th minute through an 18-yard strike from Oscar, however they were pulled back in the 68th minute by an Anthony Pilkington header before Eden Hazard scored the winner from a quick counter-attack, the win was sealed with a spectacular finish from Willian, scoring his first for Chelsea.
Chelsea continued their fine form, beating Cardiff City 4-1 on 19 October - their 3rd consecutive win in all competitions. Cardiff opened the scoring through Jordon Mutch, capitalising on a David Luiz mistake, however Chelsea dominated the game from there on in, with two goals from Eden Hazard, and high quality finishes from Samuel Eto'o and Oscar that completed the rout. This victory preserved Chelsea's 100% home league record. Three days later, Chelsea earned three valuable points after defeating Schalke 04 3-0 in their third Champions League group game, with Fernando Torres getting a brace and Eden Hazard scoring late on through an impressive solo effort.
On 27 October Chelsea faced Manchester City, a highly important game for both sides looking to continue strong league forms. The match was a tense encounter in which Fernando Torres played superbly, netting a late winner following a defensive mix-up after setting up Andre Schurrle for Chelsea's first. Manchester City equalised through Sergio Aguero early in the second half, however they could not hold on for a point.
A Chelsea containing ten changes defeated Arsenal in the Fourth Round of the League Cup, with a goal in each half from SpaniardsCésar Azpilicueta and Juan Mata. [31] The following day the Blues were drawn to face either Southampton or Sunderland away in the next round.
Chelsea completed the signing of promising 18-year-old midfielder Bertrand Traoré on a four-and-a-half-year contract. He had previously played for the Blues on the pre-season tour of Asia and scored against the Malaysia Xi and the Indonesia All Stars.[32]

November
An underwhelming Chelsea display ended in defeat to Newcastle on 2 November, with goals from Yoan Gouffran and Loic Remy. In a post-match interview, Mourinho expressed his bewilderment at the result, "I am angry, because I don't understand why after a fantastic run of matches, we lose this game"(BBC MOTD).
